 Our vision is a classroom with no power usage when it is not in use. In addition to the implemented features, we also thought about how this system could be improved in the future. We focused on the possibilities in 5-10 years, although some these things might be partly possible to implement even today or in the near future. Our vision is a classroom with no power usage when it is not in use.

 Automatic dimming of windows could be useful to control the amount of sunlight in the classroom. This could work together with the lighting, since the brightness of the lights can be lowered when there is a lot of natural light available from outside. The windows can be dimmed completely in situations where the classroom needs to be very dark or direct sunlight is distracting. Smart windows could also generate some power from the sunlight. Automatic dimming of windows could be useful to control the amount of sunlight in the classroom.

 Smart walls can detect people inside the room more accurately than simple motion sensors. The walls could also be used as an interactive surface when necessary. The interactions could possibly be based on either touch or gestures. There would also be no need wall switches since the interactions could be done on the interactive wall. Smart walls can detect people inside the room more accurately than simple motion sensors.

 Heating could be automated based on the classroom schedule. This way the classroom could be already automatically heated in the morning when the first lecture starts and the heating can be turned down or off to save energy after the last lecture in the evening. Heating could be automated based on the classroom schedule.
