Automatic Lightening
In this system whenever a person enters a room the light automatically turns on
and when the person moves out the light turns off.
Functioning
For this we have used a simple on and off circuit.
There is a wire at the back of the door. When the person pushes the door the wire comes in contact with another wire present on the wall. This completes the circuit and the bulb glows.
When the person comes out and closes the door the wire detaches and the bulb stops
glowing.
This helps us to diagnose the wastage of electricity in the house and accordingly take necessary steps to reduce the wastage.
Functioning
Light dependent resistor(LDR) is used to sense the ambient light level to switch the triac on or off. When light falls on the LDR,

Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting is the accumulating and storing, of rainwater. It has been used to provide drinking water, water for livestock, water for irrigation or to refill aquifers in a process called groundwater recharge.

Here the collected water is taken below the ground to recharge ground water
Greywater Harvesting
It refers to using of wastewater from kitchen and
bathroom for various purposes such as irrigation.

Thermal Chimney
The solar chimney consists of a black-painted chimney
or basement. During the day solar energy heats the chimney and the air within it, creating an updraft of air in the chimney. The suction created at the chimney's base can be used to ventilate and cool the building below
Working principle Air is a bad conductor of heat. During summers hollow bricks containing air do not allow heat from outside to enter the room. During winters they dont allow the heat from the room to go out.

Burglar Alarm
It is an electronic device which starts ringing
when the copper plate is touched. This has been placed under the doormat of the main gate of the house.
Functioning
The circuit comprises of two stages.
The first stage having t1 and t2 transistors forms the trigger circuit. When the copper plate is touched, the transistort1 conducts and produces feeble pulses which are amplified by t2. The second circuit is an audio oscillator made by t3 and t4.The signal from the trigger part becomes an audio signal which is converted into sound by the loudspeaker.

Fire alarm
This alarm starts ringing in case of fire.
FunctioningHere, an IC based fire alarm is described. This circuit is made around 555 IC (timer). A reverse biased germanium diode is used here as heat sensor. At room temperature the diode has very high reverse resistance ( over 10 k ohm). No effect is produced by it on transistor T1 which conducts and beeps the reset pin 4 of IC -1 at ground level and so the alarm does not sound. When temperature in the vicinity of diode D1 (the sensor) increases in case of fire, the reverse resistance of D1 drops. At about 70 degree centigrade its resistance drops to a value below 1 k ohm. This stops T1s conduction, the Ics reset pin 4 becomes positive through resistor R2,which sounds the alarm
