Mobile Energy Consumption Monitoring and Forecast

The goal of this project is to explore new ways to present the most useful information needed by commercial building managers, in order to allow them make decisions regarding on how to manage their building, reducing costs and carbon emissions, and projecting future energy budgets. This information has to be accurate, easy to obtain and understand, and most important, intuitive and ergonomic in order to promote its use. To achieve this goal, the first intern will develop a forecasting model and algorithms using historical data; the second intern will develop a proposal to present the information on computers and mobile devices. Part of the benefits to the partner (Powersmiths) will be having a more stable application that will have a better acceptance in the market because of its value and that promotes an ecologic awareness in society.
