IoT holds great promise for enhancing energy efficiency across various sectors by enabling real-time monitoring and optimization of energy use. Though not a standalone solution and faced with challenges such as high costs and security issues, IoT's benefits in the long term outweigh these obstacles. From residential energy savings to industrial process optimization and smart city applications, IoT can significantly reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. However, a sustainable approach to IoT usage and integration into a holistic energy strategy is essential for maximizing its potential and minimizing its environmental footprint.
