This paper addresses the design and implementation of a system that utilizes Internet of Things (IoT) technology for the efficient monitoring and management of energy consumption in educational infrastructure. By incorporating automation and control strategies, energy inefficiencies were detected, leading to the formulation and implementation of corrective measures that contribute to optimizing energy use and reducing operating costs. The validation was carried out experimentally in a computer lab at an educational institution located in Pamplona (NS), where an automated control scheme was implemented. It consists of presence, lighting, motion, and electrical energy consumption sensors. For the development of the IoT environment, different hardware and software technologies were selected, allowing the installation of a distributed sensor network in different strategic locations within the classroom, facilitating the collection and analysis of real-time data on environmental and electrical parameters of the equipment and energy-consuming elements. The results obtained showed a significant decrease in energy consumption, reflecting a positive impact on both the institution's operating costs and environmental sustainability.
