Abstract

Vocational colleges present obstacles to the development of organizations and knowledge that can meet the needs of smart campuses. At the same time, smart campuses promote environmental sustainability and stimulate the widespread use of new information and communication technologies. That is why the smart campus of the College of Vocational Education has been developed. This is a college where technology, equipment and applications create new experiences or services and facilitate them. The Vocational College’s Smart Campus is conceptualized as a testing base for other smart campuses, and has been driven by the need to research smart and sustainable approaches to life, colleges, vocational education, higher education and other activities that have never been thoroughly addressed. This research proposes the Vocational College's Smart Campus concept to simulate data generation with an IOT-based network of wireless sensors in the field of environmental monitoring and mood detection to provide insight into comfort levels, in addition to exploring the university's ability to participate in sustainability projects. Preliminary results highlight the importance of workspace monitoring, as performance has been proven to be directly influenced by the environment in vocational colleges to increase energy efficiency.
