The Role of Smart Technologies In Reducing Energy Consumption and Promoting Sustainable Practices In Households and Businesses

Abstract

Smart technologies play a very vital and useful role in solving power consumption issues and encouraging sustainable practices in businesses and households for a sustainable future. A smart approach is needed to promote knowledge sharing to solve the major problems of modern societies. These days, reducing the effects of greenhouse gases and ensuring balanced economic growth are the major challenges. All engineers and experts should collaborate closely to achieve interdisciplinary synergies to bridge the challenging tasks of engineering. It is important to direct intense research efforts to balance resource usage, energy-efficient technologies, the integration of green energy solutions, and the effective integration of approaches for the circular economy. This study is based on relevant data collected from recent studies conducted by engineers and research scholars for knowledge integration and to know the efforts made for developing smart and sustainable technologies. The strategic aim of the study is to help solve major issues of modern times, especially those associated with the smart utilization and sustainability of valuable and limited resources. This study discusses new ideas, current issues, and challenges for a sustainable future on the basis of smart technologies. © 2023 IEEE.
