Purpose
The kit is supplied assembled and is a desktop model of a house with a residential module and two utility rooms, which allows:
— Maintain the temperature in the residential module within the specified limits (turn on/off the automatic heating mode depending on the environmental parameters
- Accumulate heat for later use using solar energy and/or a built-in heater
— Conduct heat loss analysis in the model nodes
— Conduct an analysis of energy consumption using different methods of maintaining a given temperature in a residential module
— Create algorithms for the model’s operation (for example, maximum reduction of energy consumption, forecasting changes in environmental parameters)
— Accumulate electricity for further operation of the model in autonomous mode
— Conduct an analysis of the efficiency of using each of the renewable energy sources
— Conduct an analysis of the impact of environmental parameters on the energy supply
— Conduct an analysis of the impact of consumers on the consumption of stored electricity
— Simulate the operation of the security and access control system

 — Engineering and technical specialties

What will the child learn?
— Basic principles of automated control
— Application of sensors for process control and measurement of environmental parameters
— Use renewable energy sources to provide residential premises with thermal and electrical energy
— Design of engineering security systems, access control, as well as the basics of Web technologies and system administration
— JavaScript programming using the NodeJS framework (HTML+CSS)
— Building feedback systems using cloud technologies (concept "Internet of Things").

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept of a computing network of some devices (“things”) equipped with built-in technologies for interacting with each other or with the external environment, considering the organization of such networks as a phenomenon capable of restructuring economic and social processes, eliminating the need for human participation from some actions and operations.

Updates
- Individually
- Work in pairs
— Group lessons

When working with the kit, students can form project teams of 3 to 5 people.
All operating modes are controlled and readings are monitored via a Web interface, accessible via a wireless Wi-Fi connection of the microcomputer to a local network.

Methodological support
The methodological support in Russian contains an operating manual and a manual for setting up a microcomputer, which allow you to prepare the model of the house for work and reveal all the possibilities for conducting experiments.
Additionally, the methodological support contains recommendations on the operation of the kit and program settings.
