Green Score Meter

The Green Score Meter is an IoT-based system designed to promote sustainability in smart cities by monitoring energy consumption, renewable energy production, and air pollution levels. It calculates a Green Score for each household, helping authorities and individuals track and optimize their environmental impact.

Features

• Real-time Monitoring: Collects and analyzes data on electricity, water, gas usage, and air pollution.
• Green Score Calculation: Assigns a sustainability score to households based on energy efficiency.
• Visualization Dashboard: Provides interactive insights using Grafana.
• MQTT-based Communication: Uses MQTT for efficient data transmission.
• Dockerized System: Simplifies deployment and scalability.

Tech Stack

• Node-RED - IoT data processing
• MQTT Broker - Message communication
• InfluxDB - Time-series database for sensor data storage
• Grafana - Data visualization
• Telegraf - Data collection agent
• Docker - Containerized deployment
• Python - Sensor simulation
