How this app works

The application calculates the result using your inputs and give the suitable results and suggestions.

The Problem Addressed

As per a report by World Economic Forum, the end use efficiency of electricity in residential environment in USA is a mere 65%, signifying the level of wastage of energy. The waste of electricity ends up in increasing the costs for the user, while also making a carbon footprint on the environment. The application will focus on conserving electricity. The target users of this application will be all the people who use electricity in their homes.

The problem this application solves

A big proportion of people in both urban and rural areas use electrical appliances and pay the electricity bill. It is common to look at the bill and thinking how the cost can be reduced. But as there is no way of accurately understanding how, we guess on different appliances, which makes the process harder. This application solves this. Also, before getting a new electrical appliance, we will be able to estimate the total power consumption, estimate total costs, compare with average households, and recommend how the user can make the combination of electrical appliances more efficient. 

How it will make a positive impact on the environment 

The environmental problems directly related to electricity production and consumption include air pollution, climate change, water pollution, thermal pollution, and solid waste disposal will be directly addressed by this application. As this application will reduce the wastage of electricity, it will directly make a positive impact on the environment.
