ABSTRACT The way to minimize the usage, is by controlling the usage itself. In this paper, a system using RFID technology, microcontroller and temperature sensors to automate the use of the different electrical facilities to minimize the consumption of energy and provide an intelligent and affordable monitoring for any established institutional, commercial, residential and industrial building was developed. The proponent takes advantage of the existing RFID system installed and use it to monitor and identify the people who are accessing the said vicinity. Together with the data from the temperature sensors, the location and the minimum number of lamps, fans, air conditioning and other units that needs to be turned on or off are determined. A GUI using LabVIEW was also developed to set the desired conditions for the room, display information about the current temperature readings, status of the electrical facilities, current number of people and information such as ID number, name, time in and among others. The GUI also provides commands for manual operations. The system will incorporate ADP3338 with a 3.3 Vout preset to provide an accurate, stable and low noise voltage source to power the devices in the system. The paper aims to provide a low power and low cost solution to the power management of any establishments with existing RFID system. The system will be piloted at the Xavier University Engineering library.
