• 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
