This article aims to show the possible savings in electricity costs in smart building installations with the use of new version of Raspberry Pi 3 model B + as the control unit in intelligent building automation systems. It presents a comparison of the consumption of electricity in two units used in the central control systems, i.e. a small Windows-based computer and a Raspberry microcomputer. The power consumption of these units was measured during the rest period and during standard operations in the intelligent installation system. The conducted measurements proved that the use of the new updated version of Raspberry Pi 3 model B + as the central control unit in intelligent building management systems is more economical and energy-saving.
