How the IoT new upcoming technology can help camping sites and marinas to reduce the energy consumption

Today’s modern technologies such as 5G communication systems, Artificial Intelligence (AI), robots, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to empower our today and future life. IoT interconnects devices, data and processes allowing them to communicate with each other seamlessly. IoT can help improving different processes to be more quantifiable and measurable by collecting and processing large amount of data.

Integration of camp site equipment and optimization of energy used by them are key enablers of sustainable energy transitions and mitigating climate change. Internet of Things (IoT) offer a wide number of applications in the camping sites and marinas, i.e, guest energy consumption management, HVAC/Freezers monitoring and energy consumption demand.

IoT can be employed for improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impacts of the energy consumed by the camping sites and marinas. Below are some examples of IoT devices that can be used by camping sites and marinas to reduce the environmental footprint for both energy and water consumption:

• Wi-Fi or LoraWAN smart meters to monitor the energy consumed by guests
• Wi-Fi or LoraWAN smart plugs to control the usage of public electrical appliances such as washing machines and dryers
• Wi-Fi or LoraWAN smart plugs to control to control the usage of the TVs and other Entertainment equipment during the night
• Wi-Fi smart controllers to control the HVAC parameters based on a predefined schedule
• Smart door and windows sensors to reduce energy loses
• Smart relays to control the outdoor lightning schedule based on the sunset/sunrise
• Wi-Fi controllers to monitor the freezers
• Smart water valves for showers and wash troughs
