HEMS (home energy management system) base on the IoT smart home
As buildings consume as much as 40% of the nation's total energy in advanced countries and 21% in South Korea, the need for an active and systematic building energy management system using the ICT technology is increasing on the long term basis. In South Korea, BEMS installation was made mandatory for new public buildings over 10,000m2 by 'the regulations on the reasonable energy use in public organizations' as of July, 2013. The development of the related industries has been accelerated led by the government since it announced the 'BEMS activation plan' in January 2014. As the need for an active and systematic building energy management system (BEMS) using the IoT technology is increasing, a HEMS(Home Energy Management System) model using Internet of Things (IoT) was constructed as a way to reduce energy consumption in houses, and the ways to utilize the model were studied.
