Description
Summary:With all the new technologies in Singapore, energy consumption has been on the rise in daily life. Consumers have been complaining about the rising energy costs in Singapore and thus it is becoming an important aspect to save or use energy efficiently within households. Introduction of the Home Energy Management System (HEMS) allows consumers to be equipped with ways to reduce wastage of energy easily and efficiently. Consumers will have the ability to control and manage their energy usage wirelessly which would in turn help them to reduce their energy consumption and bills. This project integrates different type of sensors and devices to develop a HEMS prototype model.
