Abstract : The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in office buildings has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing energy efficiency and optimizing resource utilization. In the context of modern workplaces, the adoption of smart technologies offers a transformative approach towards achieving energy optimization goals. Internet connected smart devices are ubiquitous and hence opens new opportunities for optimising energy consumption within office blocks. This research paper explores the integration of IoT devices within an office environment to improve energy efficiency and sustainability. The research paper aims to review a simple and low-cost smart workplace model that employs IoT technology, cloud storage, and data analytics for real-time monitoring and analysis of energy consumption patterns within an office environment. The study examines the implementation of an integration of IoT sensors within an office environment enabling HVAC and lighting systems to dynamically adjust energy use based on real-time conditions such as occupancy levels, ambient temperature, and daylight availability. Through the identification of trends, anomalies, and opportunities for optimization, the study seeks to qualify adaptive control strategies that can effectually reduce energy waste and improve general operational productivity in office buildings. The findings from this research underwrite to the growing field of smart offices by demonstrating the potential of integrating IoT devices for energy optimization in modern office blocks.

Keywords : IoT, Optimisation, Smart Workplace, Cloud Storage, Integration of IoT.
