"A very thoughtful and practical idea! It brilliantly combines IoT, sensors, and sustainability to address real world energy inefficiency. Clearly explained, technically sound, and highly educational ,an excellent example of technology serving both…"

"Nice idea 👍"

"A very relevant issue — energy wastage in campuses is both an economic and environmental concern. Affordable smart control systems could make a real difference if designed for scale and simplicity."

"Well said! This is a space ripe for innovation — smart, low-cost automation for classrooms and dorms could drastically reduce wastage. Bridging this affordability and scalability gap can have a lasting impact on both sustainability and budgets in…"

"This is an excellent observation. The real challenge lies not in the lack of technology, but in adapting existing solutions to institutional realities — affordability, maintenance, and scalability. A modular, IoT-driven system with occupancy sensors…"

"This highlights a critical gap — while automation technology exists, accessibility and cost remain barriers. Developing modular, sensor-driven energy management systems for campuses could play a major role in advancing sustainable operations in…"

"Absolutely agree — energy inefficiency in campuses and public institutions is an overlooked challenge. The gap between high-end automation systems and affordable, scalable solutions for developing regions needs serious attention. There’s immense…"

"This highlights a critical gap — while automation technology exists, accessibility and cost remain barriers. Developing modular, sensor-driven energy management systems for campuses could play a major role in advancing sustainable operations in…"

"That’s a really smart and impactful idea. Combining IoT and sustainability like this can genuinely make campuses greener and more efficient."

"Great idea as it improves sustainability and it sure is using technology to its fullest"

"While the idea is practical and cost-effective, it may face challenges in large campuses where maintaining and troubleshooting hundreds of IoT sensors and microcontrollers could increase complexity and maintenance costs."

"Idea is practical, impactful, and future-facing. With a bit more emphasis on affordability and usability, it could be a game-changer for both urban farming and small-scale agriculture."

"SilentRoads addresses an often-overlooked challenge—noise pollution—that impacts millions daily. I really like how you’ve combined technology (porous asphalt, smart sensors) with sustainability (green moss walls, plant barriers) to create practical,…"

"I support this idea because it solves daily energy wastage on campus. An affordable IoT system that auto-controls lights, fans, and AC makes our spaces smarter, greener, and more comfortable while saving colleges money. It’s a practical, sustainable…"

"The idea tackles a real campus issue, but how will you ensure the system doesn’t become another expensive “advanced” solution that’s out of reach for most institutions? Have you calculated if the upfront hardware and installation costs might…"

"Love this idea! It’s a smart, cost-effective way to save energy and reduce waste. Super practical and could make a big impact on campuses. Keep it up Akhil!"
