# Energy Saver: Your Personal Energy Consumption Guide | ||
# WattScope: Your Personal Power Insight AI | ||
|
||
Energy wastage is a significant issue in today's world, with buildings and their appliances being major contributors. This not only impacts the environment but also leads to high electricity bills. Our solution, Energy Saver, is a web application that brings awareness to this issue by providing an AI analysis of the energy usage profile of home appliances. | ||
WattScope's overarching goal is to perpetuate Sustainable Development Goal 7 by making the user aware of the power and energy usage details of their appliance, which will help them reflect on saving power (and in turn, money). | ||
|
||
By scanning pictures of appliances, users can understand the energy and monetary cost of their usage. This awareness encourages changes in appliance usage, leading to energy conservation. The application uses a state-of-the-art multimodal Large Language Model (GPT-4 Turbo with Vision) for analysis and provides usage tips and energy-efficient alternatives. | ||
Energy wastage is a significant issue in today's world, with buildings and their appliances being major contributors. This not only impacts the environment but also leads to high electricity bills. Our solution, WattScope, is a web application (for mobile and PC) that enables action toward this issue by providing an AI analysis of the energy usage profile of any home appliance in seconds. | ||
|
||
Some Technical features include: | ||
- **Multimodal LLM**: Energy Saver uses one of the best current multimodal Large Language Models (GPT-4 Turbo with Vision), integrating image and text modalities. | ||
- **Advanced Prompt Engineering**: We have employed advanced prompt engineering using conditionals and conducted extensive testing to provide insightful and accurate results. | ||
- **User History**: Our application features a sign-up and login system that allows for past scan history and details to be saved across sessions. | ||
- **Localized Expenditure Calculation**: Energy Saver calculates monetary expenditure based on the user's location (retrieved and stored at login), calibrated for accurate electricity costs and the currency of the location. | ||
By merely clicking a picture of an appliance (and optionally typing/speaking additional details), users can understand the appliance's power usage and the monetary cost of their usage of that appliance (the AI factors in local electricity slab rates and currencies). | ||
In addition, the AI provides insight into how to efficiently save energy whilst using the appliance. | ||
It also provides alternative appliances or methods that accomplish the same task while using lower power than the original appliance. | ||
|
||
WattScope's overarching goal is to perpetuate Sustainable Development Goal 7 by making the user aware of the power and energy usage details of their appliance, which will help them reflect on saving power (and in turn, money). | ||
All this is through a philosophy of clean, intuitive, and responsive design. | ||
