Minimization of energy is a significant concern for wireless sensor networks as sensor nodes have limited energy. As a result energy efficient topology is required in sensor networks since the sensor network life time depends on appropriate network structure for communication of signals among sensor nodes. The performance analysis of network topologies for sensor based housing with respect to ZRP, IARP and IERP routing protocols has been evaluated using Qualnet 7. 1 simulator in this paper. The simulation result shows that star topology consumes only 2. 72% average total energy and is energy efficient for sensor based housing than other network topologies.
