Smart Cottage Automation: Electrical Installation and calculation, Designing, Possibility of Renewable energy integration:

Abstract

This thesis presents the design and feasibility analysis of a smart, energy-efficient cottage tailored for Mongolia’s harsh climate and evolving lifestyle needs. In response to increasing urban overcrowding, air pollution, and a growing interest in countryside living, The project proposes a technologically integrated and sustainable residential model for families of four to six members. The study covers every core aspect of the cottage from architectural and electrical planning to material selection, energy consumption modeling, and the integration of home automation and renewable energy systems. The design prioritizes energy conservation by using high-performance, locally available materials such as MAK Euroblock, triple-glazed Windoor systems, and Mongol Basalt insulation. Electrical loads were calculated across seasonal variations, with detailed planning for wiring, circuit protection, and special loads like oil-based electric heating. To enhance comfort, security, and efficiency, the cottage incorporates a Tuya-based An IoT home automation system, enabling remote control of lighting, heating, and surveillance. A hybrid off-grid energy system, combining solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, was sized using real-world climate data from the Global Solar and Wind Atlas. Energy demand modeling, along with storage and inverter sizing, confirms that the system can provide continuous power throughout the year, even in the demanding winter months. While the project demonstrates strong potential for energy independence and smart living, certain aspects remain undeveloped, including plumbing design, detailed interior/exterior architecture, roof structure finalization, and overall construction cost estimation. Nevertheless, the smart cottage stands as a promising and scalable solution that balances modern convenience with environmental sustainability, offering a vision for a more autonomous, efficient, and connected lifestyle in rural Mongolia.
