Objective : This course introduces a sustainable way of developing electronics and IT solutions: Various network protocols used for energy control and consumption. Embedded Client-Server paradigms. Sensors used for measuring energy consumption and embedded system used in relation to control and measuring. Energy harvesting methods and low-power design. Virtual server solutions. “Internet in things”- all devices on a network.

Students will be able to:

1) Know the principles in Life Cycle Assessment of product
2) Describe different network protocol used in energy monitoring and control systems
3) Analyze a given system and suggest how to operate it in an optimized energy mode.
4) Know what server does and what virtualizing means for the energy consumption and relation to its uses
5) Use energy-harvesting methods to supply an embedded system or an access-point
6) Setup and use an Embedded System connected to a network for monitoring physical data as temperature, flow, energy uses etc.
7) Select components and solutions with focus on sustainability and energy
8) Design and implement for sustainability
9) Program Microprocessors using relevant programming languages – in ex. C and C++.
