SINAIS: home consumption package: a low-cost eco-feedback energy-monitoring research platform
Abstract
This paper describes a low cost eco-feedback energy monitoring research platform. The prototype system developed in Quartz Composer uses the computer’s audio input and a current transformer to calculate real-time energy usage while also offering multiple visualization options and tracking human-activities. The prototype is being used in a multidisciplinary research project to understand the long-term effects of eco-feedback and enduring behavioral changes towards practices that promote sustainability.

My research interests vary, but generally gravitate towards the development of technologies to make our built enviornment and the communities in them more autonomous and efficient. Lately I am interested in developing responsible autonomous solutions for infrastructure systems.
