SPUMP

Description

Effective monitoring of energy usage in real-time is vital to reducing energy wastage. The average household spends nearly $1,500 per year on electricity, 10% of which is wasted. With the growing threat of climate change, it is necessary to reduce usage wherever possible. All homeowners in the US have this problem, but it's even more pronounced in high-cost energy markets, such as the Northeast. We developed SPUMP, Smart Power Utilization, Monitoring, and Projection, to aid households in tracking their energy consumption. Collected data will be transmitted and processed, and will then be displayed in a user-friendly cloud interface, allowing users to obtain a real-time understanding of their energy usage habits. Using Veea’s VeeaHub Smart Computing Hubs, we aimed to create an economical, user-friendly energy management system. By implementing SPUMP, users gain key insights to interpolate where their energy waste and hidden costs arise, allowing them to cut back their costs in a simple, effective, and efficient manner.
