smart window
1-The project addresses energy efficiency in buildings by reducing energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting. It aims to improve indoor comfort and reduce reliance on artificial systems.
2-Inspired by the growing need for sustainable solutions in architecture and Electricity price increase.
3-he project aligns with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by promoting energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
Explain your impact assessment on those four pillars: social, economic, environmental, and natural resources. And, explain how this assessment will influence your project concept and goals.
Social Impact:
1- Does your prototype directly address a specific need or improve the quality of life for its target audience?
2- Have you considered inclusivity or accessibility to ensure your solution benefits a diverse group of people?
Economic Impact:
1- Is your prototype designed to be affordable and cost-effective for its intended users?
2- Does your project contribute to local economic growth, such as supporting local manufacturing or jobs?
Environmental Impact:
1- Have you taken/going to take steps to use materials efficiently, reduce waste during production, or repurpose leftover materials from your prototype?
2- Does your solution promote environmental awareness or encourage sustainable practices in its intended use?
Natural Resources Impact:
1- Are you going to responsibly use sourced or recyclable materials in your prototype?
2- Does your solution help conserve essential natural resources like water or energy?
Social Impact
Enhances user convenience and promotes the adoption of smart home technologies.
Creates awareness about sustainable solutions and their benefits for daily life.
Economic Impact
Reduces energy bills by optimizing lighting and HVAC systems
Environmental Impact
Decreases energy consumption, which directly reduces greenhouse gas emissions .
mpact on Natural Resources
Optimizes the use of natural light and ventilation, reducing dependence on artificial resources .
Incorporates recyclable or sustainable materials in its construction to reduce waste.
The project is a Smart Window designed to enhance energy efficiency in buildings.
It uses sensors and automation to control the amount of light and heat entering a space.
The window can automatically ventilation to reduce energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting.
In hot conditions, the window reduces heat gain by reflecting sunlight.
During cold weather, it allows more sunlight to enter for natural heating.
The system can also enhance air circulation by opening the window when needed.

Describe how you’ll use Arduino programming, along with sensors and actuators, to create functions that improve your project’s efficiency, reduce resource use, or monitor environmental impact.
The main brain of the project is the Arduino, and it is assisted by temperature, humidity, and light sensors...
to know the appropriate environmental conditions surrounding the user...
and with some motors, the smart project circuit is completed.🤝
