Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Sensor-Based Lighting System to Optimize Energy Efficiency and Enhance Security

This project addresses the modernization of the lighting system at the South Campus of the Salesian Polytechnic University (UPS) through the implementation of high-efficiency luminaires and the EXEDRA remote management platform. Faced with the need to improve security and reduce environmental impact, the proposal integrates real-time monitoring technologies that allow for dynamic energy consumption management. The applied methodology includes the design of an intelligent network, the installation of robust equipment, and the creation of a technical database. This approach not only seeks an estimated 5% to 20% reduction in energy consumption but also aims to revitalize the use of university spaces during nighttime hours, improving the perception of safety for students and staff. As a result, the project positions UPS as a benchmark in intelligent and sustainable infrastructure, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 7, 11, and 16). Furthermore, the initiative generates a replicable and scalable model, providing valuable data for future academic research in energy efficiency and automation.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>Implement and deploy an intelligent, remotely managed lighting system at the UPS South Campus to optimize energy consumption and enhance institutional security.
