The role of smart homes in reducing electrical energy consumption
The experience of Saudi Arabia
Keywords:
Smart Home, Digitalization, Electric Power, Smart Devices, ICT ServicesAbstract
This intervention examines the problematical played by smart homes and the extent to which they rationalize and reduce energy consumption in Saudi Arabia. Using an analytical model of various data collected from various relevant Saudi local authorities, some international bodies in the jurisdiction, the study focused on the components of the smart home as a smart lifestyle for the Saudi citizen, with a focus on various smart home. Key findings found a tendency to increase energy consumption in terms of increasing offers of smart home appliance products on the one hand, and on the other hand the effects of information and communication technology (ICT) services, which tend to reduce and rationalize consumption. Digitalization generally tends to increase energy consumption. Smart homes will only be able to enhance sustainability in electrical energy consumption when they are enhanced Rely more on clean and environmentally friendly alternative energies, without enhancing the effects of smart.
