Traditional commercial and domestic lighting systems are a major contributor to the world's energy consumption because of poor management and prolonged operation in vacant locations. In order to maximize energy use in lighting loads, this study suggests a unique framework that blends Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with Hybrid Energy Conservation (HEC) techniques. The suggested system combines an intelligent grid-tied hybrid design with regional renewable energy sources to deliver a reliable and extremely sustainable power supply. On the management side, an automated RFID network is also set up to track building inhabitant mobility and presence. By comparing real-time RFID localization data with ambient light sensor readings, the central controller dynamically adjusts the smart LED lighting's operating conditions and dimming levels. This fine-grained control minimizes phantom energy drains and removes superfluous illumination in vacant spaces. Experiments and simulations demonstrate that this hybrid approach efficiently lowers peak grid demand while preserving the best possible visual comfort for occupants. Additionally, compared to conventional automated lighting systems, the integrated HEC-RFID model achieves an extra energy reduction of up to 35%, demonstrating a scalable, cost-effective solution for modern smart buildings seeking to lessen their carbon footprint.
