Background of the Study
As universities strive for sustainability, reducing energy consumption in lecture halls has become a priority. Traditional methods of managing energy use, such as manual control of lighting and heating, are inefficient and often fail to optimize energy savings. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the potential to create intelligent systems that can automatically monitor and adjust energy usage in real-time, optimizing consumption based on variables such as room occupancy, weather conditions, and time of day. The University of Maiduguri, like many institutions, faces challenges in managing energy usage in its lecture halls, leading to unnecessary waste and higher operational costs. This study aims to design and implement an AI-based system for optimizing energy consumption in lecture halls at the university, contributing to both cost savings and environmental sustainability.
Statement of the Problem
At the University of Maiduguri, energy consumption in lecture halls is often not effectively monitored, leading to inefficient usage of electricity for lighting, air conditioning, and other facilities. Traditional manual systems fail to adjust energy usage based on real-time conditions such as class schedules, occupancy, and weather. This leads to increased operational costs and a larger carbon footprint. While AI-based energy optimization systems have been successfully implemented in various industries, their use in academic institutions, particularly in lecture halls, remains underexplored. This study seeks to address these challenges by implementing an AI-based energy consumption optimization system at the University of Maiduguri.
Objectives of the Study
1. To design and develop an AI-based energy consumption optimization system for lecture halls at the University of Maiduguri.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of the AI-based system in reducing energy consumption and operational costs in the university’s lecture halls.
3. To assess the impact of the AI-based energy optimization system on environmental sustainability efforts at the university.
Research Questions
1. How effective is the AI-based energy optimization system in reducing energy consumption in the lecture halls at the University of Maiduguri?
2. What is the impact of the AI system on reducing operational costs associated with energy use in lecture halls?
3. How does the AI-based system contribute to the university’s sustainability goals?
Research Hypotheses
1. The implementation of the AI-based energy optimization system will significantly reduce energy consumption in lecture halls.
2. The AI-based system will result in a reduction of operational costs related to energy usage in the university’s lecture halls.
3. The use of an AI-based energy optimization system will contribute positively to the environmental sustainability goals of the University of Maiduguri.
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the development of AI-based solutions for energy optimization in educational institutions, with a focus on cost savings and sustainability. The findings could serve as a model for other universities and institutions seeking to reduce energy consumption and enhance their environmental impact.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the design, implementation, and evaluation of an AI-based energy consumption optimization system in the lecture halls of the University of Maiduguri, Borno State. Limitations include the availability of data on current energy consumption patterns and the university’s readiness to adopt AI-based technologies.
