An Intelligent Energy Monitoring and Management Platform for Smart Hostels
The KPR Institute Energy Monitoring System is a smart web application designed to monitor and manage electricity consumption across hostel facilities. Developed during a 12-hour Hostel Hackathon, the platform provides role-based dashboards that help administrators, wardens, maintenance staff, and students monitor energy usage, identify inefficiencies, and promote sustainable energy consumption.
The project combines intuitive user interfaces with interactive data visualization to simplify energy monitoring and improve decision-making.
