Due to global warming and negative consequences from using non-renewable energy, humans are more into renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy as well as tidal energy. These energies are in abundance and do not require much resources to harness it. The project is attempted to improve the lifestyle for resident uses by harnessing the power of the sun and use it to power up electronic equipment with a twist. Not only it aims to help residents to decrease their electricity consumption, it helps them to save on utility costs. It also helps to improve their lifestyle with the aid of innovation ideas in the projects. Lastly, it helps to fight against global warming by using renewable source of energy. In Singapore, where the temperature is generally high, it is very hard to hoax a baby to sleep. Air-Conditioner is an alternative solution; however, it is more expensive and is more susceptible to germs breeding, which is harmful for babies. As a result, it is better for babies to sleep with a fan. However, switching on a fan overnight may be consuming a high amount of electricity and it is very hard to regulate the temperature in the room. As a result, an innovation project is set out to solve the issue to regulate the room temperature, as well as to cut cost of residential uses.
