Raspberry Pi-Based Carbon Footprint Analyzer for Smart Homes
Objective
The main objective of this project is to develop a Raspberry Pi-Based Carbon Footprint Analyzer for Smart Homes that monitors household energy usage and calculates real-time carbon emissions. It processes sensor data to display results through the Raspberry Pi. The project focuses on building a prototype that encourages energy efficiency and sustainable living through smart monitoring.
Abstract
The Raspberry Pi-Based Carbon Footprint Analyzer for Smart Homes is an intelligent environmental monitoring system designed to estimate and analyze carbon footprint levels within residential environments. The system uses a Raspberry Pi as the main controller along with MQ135 and MQ6 gas sensors to monitor air quality and detect harmful gases associated with carbon emissions. A DHT11 sensor measures temperature and humidity, while an ADC converter is used to process analog sensor data. The collected environmental data is analyzed using Machine Learning techniques, specifically the Random Forest algorithm, to predict carbon footprint levels and identify potential environmental risks. The results are displayed on an LCD screen, and a buzzer generates alerts whenever pollution levels exceed predefined thresholds. The proposed system helps homeowners monitor indoor environmental conditions, promote energy-efficient practices, and contribute to sustainable living through intelligent carbon emission analysis.
