Dear Mohammed

It is simple. In case of electricity,

Unit consumed (kWh) = Device (end user) capacity (kW) x Time utilized (t) (Some times factor effects to intermitent opration equipment like electric iron, rice cooker etc.)

In this regard, what you have to practice to reduce the energy consmption is eithr to reduce equipment capacity of utilizing time. More ractical method is time management. The capacity also can be considered while new purchasing or replacing old/aged equipment.

A simple model or algorithm can be generate while taking equipment inventory and the above factors. Then you can prioritize the first concerning devices.

In case of thermal, it is also similar.

I think that this comment may be useful for your study.

Thanks

I think you need to first decide whether you want to reduce the energy consumption by management actions and improving the efficiency. Two are different aspects of energy conservation. First may not cost any money or very little money but the second will certainly cost money and require technical expertise.

It is generally called walkthrough energy audit (no cost or least cost) and the detailed energy audit (high cost). This is the basic principles of energy management.

Kodithuwakkuge Jayasinghe My work will have main goal is to reduce energy consumption in IOT devices level. And I'm looking for edge model to apply

Dear Mohamad, several approaches to reducing energy consumption in IoT edge devices exist. Power management models can dynamically adjust the processor voltage and frequency, schedule tasks, minimize idle time, and manage sleep modes effectively from the hardware perspective. Edge computing algorithms perform in different ways. Leveraging the expected result and power consumption is another approach. Also, data can be compressed or perform edge computing to reduce the data to be transmitted.

Dear Mohammed. Please refer the below link. This may be help you to get an idea about the energy consumption variations of software, internet, program running/installing computers reference to the base levels. This is my own work published on the particular journal.
