As a country with no natural resources, the government has always been vested in encouraging Singaporeans to reduce energy consumption and wastage in Singapore. For example, the National Environment Agency (NEA) has the energy label scheme which requires goods such as Air-conditioner, Refrigerator, Clothes Dryer and Television to be affixed with an energy label sticker depicting how much electricity they consume when used.

While there are data and statistics available on the Energy Market Authority with regards to the energy consumption by household, it is in quite a raw form with no visualization to aid users in better understanding energy consumption in Singapore. The statistics or data provided also does not link to other factors such as the population demographics, which perhaps could provide interesting insights on the usage patterns of Singaporean households. As such. while these data exist, it is not being used to allow the public to visualize the energy consumption and to make sense out of it.

Our solution is aimed at helping households to visualize the energy consumption patterns in Singapore in simple, easy to understand components and also to allow them to compare with other similar households(i.e by housing type). It will also suggest simple ways to help households conserve energy by referring to data on energy consumption so that users can enter how much they want to reduce their bill by and appropriate energy saving activities will then be recommended to meet the target set.

At the end of the day, the solution aims to provide insights or trends to users with regards to energy usage patterns so that they can take action to reduce their bill at the end of the month.
