Abstract

In this paper, we propose an power reduction method in a house which considers comfort. The proposed method assumes sensor networks which consist of smart taps, temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors, sleeping detection sensors, and human detection sensors. Furthermore, we made a modeling of the sensor networks and developed a simulation system to verify an effectiveness of the proposed method. From the evaluation by simulation, we verified effectiveness of the proposed method.
