ABSTRACT
In today’s worlds, earth surface Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases such as

carbon dioxide and methane in Earth's atmosphere led to more heat being trapped by the planet.
Heat waves are incredibly dangerous when accompanied with excessive humidity. Extreme heat
can aggravate the risk of other types of disasters. Rising temperatures across the country may,
endanger people, ecosystems, and the economy. This study aimed to design and innovate an
Arduino-Based Humidity Fan Speed Control System at Cebu Technological University - Danao
Campus for the school year 2021-2022. The Researcher utilized quantitative research with the
use of descriptive and experimental types of research methods, where it used a survey
questionnaire to measure the level of perception and product acceptability among respondents.
The twenty (20) random students and ten (10) random instructors from College of Technology
Department at CTU-Danao Campus were the partaker of the study. The resulting level of product
usefulness was 4.09, which was verbally described as "Agree," while the perceived level of
comfort of use was 4.08, which was verbally described as "Agree". Moreover, the output was
able to catch the attention of the respondents overwhelmingly. It was concluded that the
prototype is very effective and has positive benefits and was widely accepted. As a result of the
research, an improvement plan was created. It was suggested that the proponent can innovate
the product by, instead of just using a battery as a source of energy, it is acceptable to also use
240v ac adaptor and a solar panel.
Keywords: Arduino-Based, Innovative Product, Humidity Fan & Speed

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
According to World Health Organization (WHO), global climate change is already
causing tens of thousands of deaths per annum from shifting patterns of disease, to
extreme weather events, like heat-waves and floods. Prolonged exposure to extreme
heat can cause prostration, heat cramps, heat stroke, and death, still as exacerbate pre-
existing chronic conditions, like various respiratory, cerebral, and cardiovascular
diseases. A heat wave, characterized by a sustained period of utmost weather, is
related to increased mortality and morbidity, particularly among older adults," citing the
studies of Semenza et al. (1999), Matthies and Menne (2009), Huang et al. (2011), Ye
et al. (2012) and Bobb et al. (2014); and that they persist from there to explain how they
"conducted a large-scale national study among 23.5 million Medicare fee-for-service
beneficiaries each year residing in U.S.
As stated by World Health Organization (2021), COVID-19 is more likely to
spread in specific circumstances. Transmission is more likely in situations when people
are in confined spaces for long periods of time. Indoor environments, particularly those
with insufficient ventilation, are more dangerous than outdoor settings. The "Three C's"
are a good approach to evaluate this. They describe parameters in which the COVID-19
virus is more easily transmitted. Crowded places; Close-contact settings, particularly
where individuals are conversing very close to one another; and Confined and enclosed
iv
spaces with poor ventilation in areas where these "3Cs" intersect, the probability of
COVID-19 spreading is particularly significant. To reduce your risk, be aware of your
potential hazards. Know your risks to lower risks. Follow these three basic precautions;
Avoid crowded places, poorly ventilated, indoor locations and avoid lengthy contact with
others. Spend more time outside than inside. Ventilation is essential; open windows
when indoors to allow more outdoor air in.
In our country, especially in rooms switching on or off electrical fans continues to
be commonly made by manual switches. Hence, people have become so busy that they
forgot to turn off the switches after leaving the area. The global temperature is
increasing rapidly so a brand-new technology is required to adapt to the present varying
temperature. Simplifying our lives with temperature automation has been a priority since
the 1600s. The temperature-based fan speed controller that controls the speed of an
electric fan consistent with our requirement, Use of embedded technology makes this
closed loop feedback control system efficient and reliable. Microcontroller (ATMega8 /
168 / 328) allows dynamic and faster control. The sensed temperature and fan speed
level values are simultaneously displayed on the LCD panel. ARDUINO, micro-
controller is the heart of the circuit because it controls all the functions. The temperature
sensor LM35 senses the temperature and converts it into an electrical (analog) signal,
which is applied to the microcontroller.
With the advancement in technology, intelligent systems are introduced on a
daily basis. Everything is getting more sophisticated and intelligible. there's a rise within
the demand of cutting-edge technology and smart electronic systems. Microcontrollers
play a vital role within the development of the smart systems as brain is given to the
v
system. Microcontrollers have become the heart of the new technologies that are being
introduced daily.
The researchers discovered the significance of carrying out this study after
conducting a thorough literature review. We have harnessed the power of the fan
automation to not only simplify our life, but also make us more comfortable, increase
efficiency, and save on electricity costs. It is evident that this study shows the benefits of
automating your fan control; With automated fan control, you no longer need to disrupt
your workflow to adjust the speed and direction of your fans. Automating the fan speed
saves time and maintains a consistently comfortable environment. Identifying the best
speed and direction to operate your fans can be difficult, especially during the dry
seasons when the temperatures frequently fluctuate. The automation software
calculates all of this for you and perfectly optimizes your fans’ performance for the
current climate. Fans with temperature sensor control give the best of both worlds with
energy savings and consistent comfort around all seasons.

Theoretical Background
The following theories support the concept of the product, the demographic, and
the outcome of this research.
The dimensions and relevance of quality will be the starting point for this section
of my entire company study. "Quality is more essential than quantity" said the late Steve
Jobs, and I'm sure most people would agree that Apple prioritizes quality and aesthetics
over all other factors, and there's a strong case to be made for their dominance in
smartphone manufacturing (Galli, 2020). The 8 Dimensions of Quality is a theory that
examines the significance of quality in a product.
Performance, Features, Reliability, Conformance, Durability, Serviceability,
Aesthetics, and Perceived Quality are eight important characteristics or categories of
quality that Garvin presents as a framework for strategic analysis. The first is
Performance, which relates to the basic functioning features of a product. The second
category is Features, which are typically supplementary aspects of performance, or
traits that augment their core functionality. The third factor is Reliability, which indicates
the likelihood of a product malfunctioning or failing within a given time frame. Fourth is
the Conformance, it refers to how closely a product's design and functioning features
adhere to set guidelines. Durability is the fifth factor, it is a measure of product life that
includes both economic and technical aspects. Sixth is the serviceability, it refers to the
speed, civility, skill, and ease with which a product can be repaired. Aesthetics, the
seventh degree of quality or the appearance, is a subjective one that depends on how
the people respond. Finally, is the Perceived Quality, it refers to the situation in which
vii
consumers may not have complete information about a product's or service's features,
and indirect metrics may be their only means of comparing brands.
Characteristics of Smart Fan
Project smart fan is a prototype that can detect humidity and it will automatically
switch on when it reaches the specific temperature. The microcontroller controls the of
an electric fan according to the requirement and allows dynamic faster control and the
LCD makes the system user- friendly. Sensed temperature in Celsius scale and fan
speed in percentage are simultaneously displayed on the LCD panel. Which it relates to
the serviceability for the quality.
Relation Between Ambient Temperature to Sensor
The one feature of a quality is the relation between ambient temperature to a
sensor. In order for the Arduino to function, the increase of the humidity is needed. The
greater the room temperature the higher the (RPM) revolutions per minute. When there
is no significant change in the temperature, the fan will stay neutral. The temperature
sensor LM35 senses the temperature and converts it into an electrical (analog) signal,
which is applied to the ATmega328 microcontroller of the Arduino UNO Board. The
analog value is converted into a digital value. Thus, the sensed values of the
temperature and speed of the fan are displayed in the LCD. When the temperature
exceeds 36°C the fan starts to rotate. A low frequency pulse width modulation (PMW)
viii
signal, whose duty cycle is varied to adjust the fan speed is used. An inexpensive,
single, small pass transistor like 2n2222.
LM35 Temperature Sensor
The second feature is by using a LM35, this is an analog, linear temperature
sensor whose output voltage varies linearly with change in temperature. LM35 is three
terminal linear temperature sensors from National Semiconductors. IT can measure
temperature between 55 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius. The voltage output of
the LM35 increases 10mv per degree Celsius rise in temperature. LM35 can be
operated from a 5v supply and the standby current is less than 60uA. LM35 sensor uses
the basic principle of diode, whereas the temperature increases, the voltage across a
diode increases at a known rate. By precisely amplifying the voltage change, it is easy
to generate an analog signal that is directly proportional to temperature.
The study also applies diffusion of innovation. This is a theory that describes how
quickly a thing gains popularity. This is made up of segments or groups of
demographics: Innovators- who want to be the first to attempt an invention; Early
adopters- who are comfortable with change and new ideas; Early majority- adopts to
new innovations before the average person; late majority- Those who are resistant to
change and will only adopt an innovation after it has been widely accepted and adopted
by the majority of the population; Laggards- Those who are very old school and they are
ix
the last to adopt new technologies. This theory definitely explores the stages on how the
product sells through time, from innovators to laggards.
Individuals are considered as having varying degrees of readiness to embrace
innovations, and hence the proportion of the population adopting an invention is often
found to be roughly regularly distributed over time. The process of innovation in
organizations is far more complicated. It usually involves a group of people, sometimes
comprising both advocates and opponents of the new idea, all of whom have a say in
the innovation-decision (Oliveira and Martins, 2011).
These theories aid the study's background in guiding how to produce a higher-
quality product and the innovation process is to gather all of the diffusion’s categories.
This study's product will be competitive, innovative, and serviceable to all
demographics.

Future Researchers
This study will serve as a reference for researchers on the subject of research in the
field of Industrial Technology. This will serve as a guide to further develop the
research with the connections to the variable used.

xv
Scope and Limitation
This study will focus on developing a smart fan using an Arduino UNO. The
scope of the study includes the acceptability of the product as well as the functionality of
the Arduino. The study will also determine the efficiency of the Arduino-based Humidity
and Fan Speed Control System in an enclosed area. The program of the prototype is
dependent in the given set-up; its program is based in real situation wherein if there is
heat in the area and when the sensor detects it, the fan will automatically start. The
program is dependent in the environment wherein there is a change of temperature
from the perimeter because LM35 sensor was used in detecting the heat emitted from
the blower.
However, this research will not extend to the advanced factors that affect
Arduino-based Humidity and Fan Speed Control System, such as, system interruptions
or bugs. The Arduino uno which is the microcontroller that we have been using is not
capable of using a great deal of components but still it serves as the circuit's brain. If the
controller fails, the entire system will be thrown off.

According to Rogoberto Solorio (2015), a web-based temperature monitoring
system for the faculty of arts and letters The Web-Based Temperature Monitoring
System for the College of Arts and Letters helps customers hold track of the College of
Arts & Letters’ server room temperature from a remote location. The project’s mission is
to inform system administrators through email/text if an important temperature has been
reached inside the server room, in addition to providing a technique for displaying the
current server room temperature.
According to Robert Jaron (2016), for the application of gasoline sensor
technology, the system is designed to combine the temperature measurement part
using temperature sensors, the heater management unit using PWM output, and the
resistance change reading part using the Wheatstone bridge principle. The design
standards were happy to keep the fuel sensing material at a predetermined temperature
xix
of 200°C and efficiently skim the resistance change of gas 39 sensors, according to the
results. However, there are a few limitations in terms of accuracy and heater contact
space with a temperature sensor that will need to be addressed in future work by
employing more tuning methods and efficient design. This is an excellent piece of work.
The availability of electricity has reached a critical point, according to Baligar1,
et.al (2014). We must conserve energy in order to defend and safeguard our future.
"One unit saved is one unit generated," as the phrase suggests. The project is a self-
contained automatic fan speed controller that regulates the speed of an electric fan to
our specifications. This closed loop feedback control system is efficient and reliable
thanks to the use of embedded technology. The Arduino microcontroller enables for
more dynamic and responsive control. The system is user-friendly because of the liquid
crystal display (LCD). On the LCD panel, the measured temperature and fan speed
levels are displayed at the same time.
According to Ripunjay Chachan (2015), depicts designing a clever Temperature-
Cum-Humidity monitoring gadget. The absolutely practical prototype is designed
entirely in-house. When the humidity or temperature falls outside of the range specified
by the user, the device sends an SMS to the user's specific phone number. This SMS
includes information on the current temperature and humidity. The developed system is
also in place to send data to the monitoring station for recording and graph plotting for
later analysis functions achieve its final goal and high-level performance.

Related Studies
There are many sensor-based projects for engineering students, according to Tiger
Print Philippines (2015) Automated Wireless Greenhouse Management System.
Greenhouse monitoring and controlling projects are used to measure various
parameters such as temperature, humidity, light-weight, and soil moisture as part of
these tasks. These parameters are displayed on an LCD by the microcontroller.
Sensors detect temperature, humidity, and light, while two thin metal rods or metal
wires detect soil moisture. Temperature sensor output is amplified and sent to Analog to
Digital Converter ADC along with three other sensors; the microcontroller controls these
parameters and keeps them below predefined levels using relay interface and motor
drivers. These relays can be connected to fans and heaters, and DC motors can be
connected to specific units.
According to Kunla Singh (2015), one of the hottest topics is an Automatic Fan
Speed Control 1 system with Arduino. In this project, the fan speed will be controlled in
relation to the temperature. The temperature will be obtained using the temperature
sensor, and the system will control the speed based on the temperature specified by the
individual. In this project, the microcontroller sorts the processing parts, which first
senses the temperature and the controller then compares the information with the set
temperature. If the current temperature is larger than the set temperature, the controller
turns ON the fan and the set pace shall be proportional to the difference between the
set temperature and the current temperature. If the present temperature is less than the
set temperature, the fan shall be turned off.

The project includes a temperature and humidity monitoring/sending system
based on digital technology, using the DHT11 and computers, technology and computer
technology. Sensirion, a Swiss company, created the DHT22 sensor. The system
overcomes the drawbacks of poor linearity, low accuracy transmission, complex use of
traditional systems with the analog humidity sensor and makes measurements for
temperature and heat index. Sensirion's DHT11 and DHT22 temperature/humidity
sensors are based on CMOSens technology, which combines a CMOS chip with a
sensor. One chip contains a temperature/humidity sensor, a signal magnifier, an A/D
switch, and a 12C bus interface. The author creates a temperature/humidity
measurement system and sends it out with a SHT1x sensor to measure
temperature/humidity in close quarters. A wireless signal is used to send the current
temperature or humidity value to a forane receiver.

According to the aforementioned data, the recently created Arduino-Based
Humidity and Fan Speed Control System is functional, and researchers were able to
demonstrate the essential features and functions that the user desired as a result of
the product. Based on the study (Galli, 2020), the 8 Dimensions of Quality is a theory
that examines the significance of quality and one of it is in terms of feature. That the
data shows that the product is competitive because of the features and functions
which is the greater the room temperature the higher the (RPM) revolutions per

Arduino-Base Humidity and Fan Speed Control System are discussed in this section
which includes the rationale, objectives, and the output for the said improvement
program.
Rationale
With the advancement in technology, intelligent systems are introduced on a
daily basis. Everything is getting more sophisticated and intelligible. There is a rise
within the demand of cutting-edge technology and smart electronic systems.
Microcontrollers play a vital role within the development of the smart systems as brain is
given to the system. Microcontrollers have become the heart of the new technologies
that are being introduced daily. We have harnessed the power of the fan automation to
lxv
not only simplify our life, but also make us more comfortable, increase efficiency, and
save on electricity costs.
The innovative Arduino-Based Humidity and Fan Speed Control System can be
improved by, instead of just being battery dependent, the product can be improved by
converting it into direct current product with the help of 240 volts alternating current
adapter, it could also be improved with the use of smart phone by notifying the user
about the condition of the product.
It is evident that humidity plays a vital role to human health because it affects us
thermal comfort or in other words, whether we feel hot or too cold, whether the weather
is warm and the humidity is high the human body finds it hard to keep it cool. Arduino
Based Humidity and Fan speed control system comes in handy because it is way easier
and more convenient. Because we are living in the 21 st century, it is more appealing if
the product is high-tech and more improved to attract customers
Program Objectives

Conditions and Problems Encountered Ranking

I always forgot to adjust the control number of fan speed in accordance to the
temperature’s environment.
I'm not certain how I choose the control number of fan speed based on the
temperature of the area, so I just turn it on as long as it gives me air.
I’ve already seen our fan overheat due to improper usage and improper selection
of the control number of fan speed.
I always set the fan speed to the highest setting when I feel humid, regardless of
the temperature in the room/area.
As the fan requires manual selection of the fan speed, I don't mind switching it in
accordance with the temperature’s environment due to my laziness to manually
adjust it.
