Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our advisor Antonio Angelo J. Limbaga,
PECE, for the continuous support to our study, for his patience, motivation, and immense
knowledge. His guidance helped us all the time of research and writing of this study. We could not
have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for our study.
Besides our advisor, we would like to thank our class, for their insightful comments and
encouragement, but also for the hard question which incented us to widen our research from
various perspectives. We would also like to thank those who participated on our survey for their

ABSTRACT
For the past few years we are suffering a lot due to global warming. Global warming is
primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that leads to an increase of
temperature, hence we use excessive amount of energy for air-conditioning. Since cooling our
homes consumes an average of 50% of energy cost yearly, using it inefficiently leads to a drastic
increase in consumption of energy, thus there is a grave need for us to conserve energy in every
way possible. The sole purpose of this research is for us contribute in saving the environment by
the means of energy conservation. In order to do that, weve come up a way to solve the problem
mentioned earlier; it is by home automation using arduino and sensors. In this research, we will
be using Arduino Uno as a control system to our air-conditioning unit, Temperature sensor,
relays and Ethernet shield. We also use internet for the data gathering, data push and data pull,
with this system the user will be aware in the changes of temperature. The system is not purely
automatic, even though it is stated that it would be home automation, the user still has the
authority to give instruction via internet. The result of this will ultimately help us save money in
energy consumption at the same time helping the environment. It would be like killing two birds
