The advancement in technology is closely linked to environmental sustainability and most likely, it is perceived that technological advancements have an adverse impact on the environment. Technological innovations have captured human attention in the mid-18th century, since then humans are enabled to use natural resources to a greater extent. Heavier usage of raw materials increased production and the global population have given rise to Co2 emission and resource depletion.<\/p>\n
However, the relationship between the technology and environment has been changed now as the factors that propel sustainability and digital innovation have been disconnected. This environmentally sustainable technological change has been led by a wide range of immersive technologies such as robotics, AI and most importantly IoT. All of these technologies have the potential to change commercial and industrial procedures, along with making them environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
The advancement in wireless connectivity and IoT sensor technologies have mutually reinforced sustainability and digital innovation. With the IoT technologies, companies are adopting environmentally friendly practices, organizing their processes, and using resources in a responsible manner.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The following highlights the most important applications of IoT that are positively impacting the environment and helping in making the planet greener.<\/strong><\/p>\n
1. Smart Energy Management<\/h2>\n
Customers nowadays are emphasizing more on sustainable technology. IoT devices help in managing a wide range of electricity supply chains. This includes electric utilities, their energy consumption and supply from both distributors and consumer ends. These smart energy management systems not only help in reducing energy spending but also help in minimizing carbon emissions. As far as the energy usage monitoring is concerned, then it can be observed that the wireless utility meters deliver the energy consumption data at building areas, individual and industrial assets. Having these data-driven insights help companies and individuals to monitor their energy consumption and optimize it to achieve environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n
