The world is facing global warming, increased energy demands and limited resources. Therefore, how to increase the efficiency of energy use is of high importance. For a typical household, this research assumes that understanding household power usage patterns is the first step and the only way to achieve energy savings. Previously, power consumption data are often aggregated and displayed on utility bills, which hardly increases the residents’ awareness regarding energy savings. In this research, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Unity technologies were utilized to implement an interactive platform in order to show power consumption data sets and selected energy saving patterns. Two types of potential energy-saving patterns were realized in the proposed platform. One is about a group of passive appliances, which users can specify which appliance be incorporated into which group. This group of appliances should be turned on or off all together, and if any of the appliances in the group do not obey the rule, the platform will identify them and display the energy-saving tip in the 3D environment. The other is about a spatial group of appliances that their locations are inside the same room or zone. The platform will monitor the power consumption data set and once the given appliance is turned on (such as a security alarm), all the other appliances should be turned off. The platform can remind the residents of when and which appliance should be turned off, thus having the potential of saving energy for the household. |
