Motorized Smart Roofing System using IoT for Sustainable development

Abstract

Climate change caused by human activity has led to abnormal rainfall in India. Agriculture is a crucial source of income for the Indian Government and the abnormal rainfall patterns pose a significant threat to the industry. These fluctuations in rainfall have caused damage to homes, and infrastructure, wash away crops and destroy water sanitation. Unusual rainfalls are also affecting the Rooftop restaurants. The Government, Roof Top restaurant owners, and farmers are all seeking solutions to address the impact of climate change. One potential solution is the development of a Smart Roofing System that can detect rainfall and respond accordingly. The Proposed system would use a Rainfall Sensor to detect rain, which would then send signals to a Wi-Fi-enabled board. The board would then activate dc motors, opening the roof to protect against rainfall. When the Rainfall Sensor detects no rain, it sends a signal to the board to reverse the direction of the motors, closing the roof. The implementation of this Smart Roofing System could help minimize the damage caused by unusual rainfall patterns and help towards the development of a sustainable environment. With a Smart Roofing System in place, roof-top restaurant owners could continue their service during periods of heavy rain, ensuring minimal disruption to their business. Overall, the development of a Smart Roofing System could help protect India’s infrastructure, agriculture, and economy from the adverse effects of climate change with minimal cost.
