This research paper explores the perceptions of employees in the real estate and IT sectors regarding the impact of Green Internet of Things (IoT) technologies on energy consumption and sustainability in smart homes. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, the study administered structured questionnaires to 345 respondents to gather data on their views of the effectiveness of Green IoT devices in reducing energy usage and enhancing environmental sustainability. The analysis was conducted using one-sample t-tests to compare the responses against a neutral benchmark, revealing significant perceptions of Green IoT’s contributions. The findings indicate a robust consensus among participants that Green IoT technologies significantly lower energy consumption and effectively manage energy resources, with notable impacts on reducing household energy bills and overall energy usage. Additionally, respondents overwhelmingly agreed that Green IoT plays a crucial role in making smart homes more environmentally sustainable and in promoting sustainable urban development. These perceptions underscore the potential of Green IoT to not only enhance the efficiency and functionality of smart homes but also to contribute significantly to broader environmental sustainability goals. The study's implications extend to policymakers, urban planners, technology developers, and real estate professionals, suggesting that supportive measures and continued innovation in Green IoT could accelerate the transition to more sustainable urban environments. The conclusions also advocate for future research to explore the long-term impacts of Green IoT technologies and their integration into different socio-economic and geographic contexts.
