Abstract This chapter provides an introductory discussion of two key emerging research topics. The first is "energy harvesting" or "energy scavenging," which deals with the technology that aims to take advantage of various ambient power sources. The second is the concept of the "Internet of Things" (IoT), which is a recently coined term used to describe a series of technologies that enable machine-to-machine communication and machine-to-human interaction via Internet protocols. It is a technology that can be used as an intelligent process of monitoring the use of energy across various devices and providing an efficient model of use based on user requirements. What unites these disparate technologies is not only their implications for environmental savings, but how they can provide these efficiencies in an unobtrusive manner, and indeed in a manner which provides subtle rewards to those who utilise them. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
