What is Smart Dorms?
Smart Dorms is a quick and practical solution to help students to have a more sustainable life ,
Scenario
Edwin leaves his flat early morning every day to go to university and he never checks the thermostat valve level of the radiator. After a long day in the university, he comes back home, goes to his room and turns the lights on to drop his stuff to afterwards go the kitchen to start cooking with his flatmate without turning the lights off again. After a couple of minutes cooking, the kitchen becomes overheated, so they usually open the window to cool down and ventilate the space, but they don’t adjust the temperature of the radiator.
Since the students are usually in a hurry to arrive on time to class, quite often it happens that they leave the lights of the common areas on, or the lights of the rooms. Especially during spring, when there’s more sunlight it’s really common that while they’re getting ready to go to school, they don’t perceive if the light is coming from the window or if the lightbulb is on.
