Efficient E-Scheduling

Efficient E-Scheduling is an augmented reality application that allows users to interact with a virtual 3D model of a home equipped with energy-efficient appliances and flexible energy technologies. The app presents common building technologies such as dishwashers, washing machines, heat pumps and EV chargers, helping users understand how different appliances and energy systems can be scheduled to reduce energy consumption and improve flexibility. Users can select between different scenarios, such as a Very Hot Summer Day or a Winter Day, and decide when each appliance should operate to optimize energy use according to the situation. The application supports practical learning about demand-side flexibility, efficient energy scheduling and the combined use of technologies in modern buildings. This application was developed for the REPowerEDU course, in the context of Programme 4, Subject 4: How the combination of technologies is able to create flexibility, including examples of appliances and other equipment.
