Monitoring the temperature of a computer server room is a critical task to ensure, the performance is not disturbed by excessive room temperature. In this paper we have designed and implemented a microcontroller-based room temperature monitoring and controlling system using Atmel ATmega32 microcontroller and LM35 temperature semiconductors. The project titled “Temperature monitoring and regulating system for power saving” is useful for equipments where cooling is necessary. In regions with consistent high temperature it becomes necessary to maintain equipments from getting damaged by heat. The aim of this project is to cool components by consuming least amount of power avoiding damage to hardware parts which are costly to repair. The microcontroller will take the temperature reading from the temperature sensors, which will continuously report real time temperatures. The microcontroller will then take decisions whether to turn on the fan on heated component or to keep it off. The system is provided with working status through 16x2 LCD display and buzzer as an alarm for overheated condition.
