Abstract
As the population increases, the need for resources increases too which ultimately degrades the quality of atmosphere that is needed for the survival of human beings. As a result, the carbon footprint increases continuously. This literature explains a novel method for reducing carbon footprint using IoT enabled green technology. The test here uses sensors, thermostat, and arduino along with a web portal to detect the output as a part of the IoT method. In this study, it is found that carbon footprint is reduced by more than 22% for an IoT enabled building when compared to a normal building. The results are solely based on electrical and LPG consumption for a specific time period. The mathematical modelling and practical observations are included to validate the result.
