The IC-ESI’2024 competition that encourages creativity, disruptive thinking, and recognizing opportunity where there is chaos is “Create the Future.” Benefits of IC-ESI competition Globally, a connectedness movement being sparked by the internet of things is opening the door for the development of smart environments. Even though different environments are taking different approaches to this high-tech trend, common elements like efficiency, convenience, and environmental consciousness all play significant roles. In this instance, in an attempt to lessen their impact on the environment, these smart environments are putting in place ways to track water usage, electricity usage, and more. These eco-smart environments offer intriguing high-level concepts to engage residents in addition to tracking and monitoring. One has to do with a rewards system that incentivizes residents of intelligent environments to make better decisions about their lives and health in addition to their own. This all-encompassing method also considers the social media component.
