Green IoT (Internet of Things) refers to the integration of environmentally friendly practices and technologies in the development and implementation of IoT systems. The main goal of Green IoT is to minimize the environmental impact of IoT devices and networks, both during their production and throughout their lifecycle. This includes reducing energy consumption, minimizing electronic waste, and optimizing resource usage.
The technical aspects of Green IoT involve the integration of IoT devices and sensors with renewable energy systems, energy storage systems, and energy management systems. These systems are connected to the internet, allowing for real-time monitoring, analysis, and control of energy usage.
Green IoT also known as sustainable IoT, it is the marriage of internet of things technology and environmentally friendly practices. It aims to minimize the ecological impact of technology while enhancing resource management and efficiency.
