Young adults move out of their parent’s home for college, and start living with roommates because of financial reasons. But with roommates, it’s hard for them to save on electricity bills, because no one knows exactly who’s using what energy in the house. Energymate is an idea about multi-tap-outlet device and smartphone application in oder to help people saving energy. A device that tracks the energy usage for each room, so each roommate can easily pay separately. It plugs into an outlet, and sends electricity data to your smart phone. People will be able to track everyone’s energy use in real-time. You can also compare your electricity usage with the average range in your area. To help you save energy even more, you can set a price for an alert notification when it comes close to a certain amount. Check which outlet device uses the most electricity in your room... And see your overall progress. Energymate gives a good reason to save energy to a lesser bill, and it helps young adults to start good habits for an energy saving future.
