The consumption of electricity grows as technology advances, as this, almost entirely depends on the power of some energy source, the increase in this consumption causes positive impacts, but also negative one of them is due to the high cost of these resources , the reduction of resources destined to education in Brazil makes institutions look for strategies to reduce expenses and one is, to be able to use efficiency in the consumption of electric energy. This work aims to reduce electricity consumption, increase the duration of climate control devices and improve thermal comfort. To reduce the resources spent on air conditioning, a set of software and hardware was developed, aiming to control, in an automated way, environments with movement of people and with low management of resources, the use of sensors to measure the ambient temperature, control of people and, communication and control of the devices that make the environment climate control. After the implementation of this technology in the proposed environments, the system started to regulate the air conditioning device(s), seeking to compensate the temperature, when this is different from that projected by the user, from the ambient temperature measured by the set sensors and end the device activity when there are no people in theenvironment as well as start when a userentersthe site.
