Grand Challenges 2017

UniWatt

Exeter City Futures tasked students in this group to design a platform to help students reduce their energy footprint as a step towards a sustainable world. They designed “UniWatt”, an app which allows students to log/track their energy usage, and anonymously compare against other users providing a competitive incentive to saving the planet. The students also hope to implement several other features to improve energy usage, such as integration with home smart-meters and surveys to suggest possible improvements to the University and the local Council. Their poster and presentation provide further detail.
