Why this problem matters
Energy shortages and rising costs make efficient power management essential. However, many households lack the tools to track and optimize their energy use. This project leverages IoT technology to bridge that gap with real-time insights and more intelligent consumption strategies.
How I address this project
I used a design thinking process to identify critical features and functionality that would meet the needs of both users and businesses.
Empathize
I conducted quantitative research to segment users and identify key participants for deeper qualitative insights.
Define
Combining quantitative and qualitative research, I identified three key personas to represent user needs, behaviors, and pain points. This helped me prioritize essential features.
Ideate - Mapping the user journey
With a clear understanding of our key personas. I created user journey maps to visualize their experiences. These maps helped identify opportunities to address challenges and determine the most effective touchpoints for solving user problems.
Design - Turning insights into actionable solutions
With a deep understanding of user personas and journey maps, I translated user needs, pain points, and opportunities into concrete features and functionalities.
Prototype - Bringing ideas to life
I created a prototype featuring key functions alongside a simplified visual design to test and validate the hypotheses. This allowed us to assess whether the product effectively met user expectations.
Test - Validating the user experience
To evaluate the Home Energy Management System prototype, I conducted usability testing that assessed user satisfaction and comprehension. The results confirmed that users found the application informative and intuitive, reinforcing its ability to help them track and optimize daily energy usage effortlessly.
Results & Impact
The home energy management system helped users effortlessly track, optimize, and reduce energy consumption.
