DIYANA ZAHIRAH BINTI JAAFAR KOLEJ KOMUNITI TANJUNG PIAI
This project details the development of a low-cost, automated temperature and humidity monitoring system designed to foster environmental sustainability and operational resilience within Kolej Komuniti Tanjung Piai server rooms, directly aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 9, and 12. While large-scale data centers benefit from dedicated, automated climate systems, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often lack the budget for premium monitoring infrastructure, leaving critical IT equipment vulnerable to thermal stress and inefficiency.
Utilizing the NodeMCU ESP32 and Blynk, the developed system provides a continuous, cloud-based data stream that enables proactive rather than reactive microclimate management. From an energy perspective (SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy). Furthermore, real-time alerts ensure that thermal anomalies or humidity spikes are addressed and being notified before causing hardware failure.
By providing an affordable, open-source framework, this research offers small businesses a scalable model to upgrade existing IT infrastructure sustainably (SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), while mitigating electronic waste through the extension of hardware lifespans (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production).
