MOHALI: Students of Indo Global Colleges to save energy developed   Room Automation using PIR Sensor. The objective of this project is to save wasteful electricity energy The fans and tube lights are generally remained switched on even when there is no occupant in the class room. This trend is prevailing in this college also. The PIR sensor can switch off fans and tube lights on sensing no occupants inside the classroom.
