Summary

The  UK  SME  has developed a mobile app to encourage users to be more aware of their energy use and encourage more efficient energy consumption. Energy use and savings can be compared with other linked app users. This comprises of data collection utilities, back-office database design and implementation, and mobile application.

Description

The company is a research-led SME developing system solutions for information acquisition, processing, and delivery. it specializes in human-centric applications including decision support, data mining, and information services. 

Already successful in the traffic, transport and environmental sectors, the company is seeking collaborators to work with, applying their knowledge to the energy sector. By developing a mobile application that will contribute to the reduction in domestic energy costs by making users aware of their energy consumption and costs which will encourage users to be more efficient in their energy use. 

App users can be linked together, enabling a comparison of energy use and encouragement to save energy.  The app could also be adapted for office and industrial comparisons. 

The app that the company has developed brings together existing information sources with current and future communications technology. 

The company draws on over twenty years of experience of its staff with real-time monitoring and control systems and it has an established track record of successful implementation of information systems developed around the latest communications technologies.    

The issue is in engaging potential customers and making them aware of the energy spend of their dwelling through mobile technologies. The individual elements of data collection utilities, back-office database design, and implementation combine on a mobile application. This is the innovative aspect of the proposal as these elements have previously only been available individually. 

Potential markets are all systems where measurement of the energy consumption can be taken. 

The company is offering full ICT services and expertise from front end to back end server hosting, software development and mobile application development.

Having participated in previous H2020 consortia, they are now looking for new partners for new H2020 projects in the energy sector.
