Design and application of lighting energy consumption monitoring platform based on MVC and entity framework

Abstract

With the development of intelligent lighting technology and green lighting, energy-saving has become an important direction of research and development. A lighting energy consumption monitoring platform has been designed and described in the paper based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) software architecture and Entity framework on .Net platform. The energy consumption of the lighting system before and after the using of energy-saving equipment can be monitored, compared and analyzed, which can provide detailed numerical basis for the analyzing of energy-saving performance of the equipments. The system has been deployed by a lighting company in Suzhou. The practical results show that the system has high stability, scalability and significant energy savings.

Analyzing Entity Framework Technology for an Indoor Decoration Based Recommendation System

“…Systems developed by using Ado.Net or Entity Framework technologies can also be given as examples of these systems. The Entity Framework technology was used in the system developed by Xie et al [16] in order to store and display data and a significant reduction was observed in energy consumption of the system. Also in the study conducted by Zhongming et al [17], the Entity Framework was used for data management.…”
