•  Create an educational game aimed at teaching high school and college students about Home Energy Management (HEM) systems and devices

•  Demonstrate the day-to-day experience of scheduling and managing appliances in a HEM system

•  Show how neighbors affect each other under different billing schemes (Flat Rate, Time of Use (TOU), Real Time)

•  Developed web page using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

•  Created 3D model of home in Google SketchUp

•  Used pre-existing MATLAB appliance energy model

•  Designed server (JavaEE, later PHP) to communicate between MATLAB model and student pages

•  Implement server design •  Make game self-contained, with automatic setup and model •  Play game with college and high school classes for

feedback •  Improve appliance controls and graphs

•  Created a usable game webpage (3) •  Devised formulas for comfort index •  Explored ways to present power usage graphs (1) •  Designed and documented a server to coordinate

game sessions (2) •  Ran a game session without a server for testing

and feedback

(1) Examples of power usage graphs to be displayed after each turn

(2) Communication between game components

•  Educate students about HEM systems •  Increase installation of HEM systems by informed consumers •  Save money and energy at the consumer level, immediately

and in the future (3) Demo of game interface
