This paper discussed on the hardware product of renewable energy driven exhaust fan for use in laboratory via IOT. Ventilation is generally deployed in buildings for maintaining user's safety and health. This renewable energy driven exhaust fan is the most considered system in improving the energy saving while sustaining user's safety and health. If we can renew and reuse the energy we waste, it would help in some way to the problem of scarcity of energy, which is major threat of present world. Initial capital cost of solar systems is still quite high when it comes to generate power for domestic. By using the concept of wind turbines wind-generated electricity can be used for battery charging and for connection with the power grid. Hence this research proposes a prototype of Renewable Energy Driven Exhaust Fan for use in laboratory via IOT. This research presents a prototype of regenerating power by an exhaust fan. The generated power can be either used directly or can be stored in a battery. This exhaust fan also can be controlled and monitored via IOT. The objectives of this research are, to design and develop an exhaust fan that can be driven by renewable energy, to design and develop an exhaust fan that can be controlled by IoT and to collect data and analyze the power consumptions and power saving. Methods used in this research is to use power from battery to operate the Fan 1. Than this kinetic energy produced by Fan 1 is used to drive Fan 2 and Fan 3 which are now actually a pair of generators with the help of charging circuit to directly recharge the battery which at first used to power up Fan 1. Analysis is then carried out to evaluate the theory, which actually agreed to the initial theory as presented
