a prototype of a smart ceiling fan regulator which can help to reduce electricity consumption in public places (e.g., restaurants, laundry shops, and train stations)

Smart Fan Regulator With Computer Vision

• According to World Energy Outlook (WEO), electricity demand is projected to grow at 2.1% per year until 2040, and this will raise more environmental and economical challenges.

• Therefore, I would like to present this prototype of a smart ceiling fan regulator which can help to reduce electricity consumption in public places (e.g, restaurants, laundry shops, and train stations).

• The smart regulator receives the video feed from CCTV camera(s) to detect the number of individuals present, also it has a built-in sensor to measure the surrounding temperature.

• Then the regulator utilizes these two pieces of information to switch on the fan and control its speed.
