Cooloff App Case Study

CoolOff

 

Project Baseline

To create an application to reduce the usage of Ac’s and increase the use of greener method such as opening windows and using whole fans when the desired temperature is reached.

The Problems and Solutions

There are two main problems when it comes to using air conditioners at our home, office and even in the public nowadays.

1. The first main problem relates to the life.

Ac’s are used almost everywhere to fight the heat and humid temperature in order to feel comfortable but financially huge amounts are paid for electricity bills and in terms of health, many people do not realize that there are severe chances of being attacked with illnesses if they completely rely on it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week such as effects on the blood, hair loss, taste changes, tiredness, etc.

The second main problem is relating to the atmosphere.

Did you know that the Ac’s uses 10-20 times more power and electricity then whole fans? Ac’s are now one of the major sources of air pollution because of high number of electricity/power consumption and also emitting dangerous gases into the air.

Let's Talk!

It’s known that it’s next to impossible to stop using the Ac’s due to the blazing atmosphere unless it gets cooler whereas people usually do get annoyed to often check out the weather conditions outside.

If an individual can save three hours a day by not using the AC then how much would he/she save at the end of month in terms of electricity bills and how much pollution has he/she stopped by not using the AC? Just imagine! If millions of people stopped using the AC when not needed.

These are the reasons for why cool-off app is brought up in the market.

If a user is comfortable with 27 degrees Celsius then cool off will detect the temperature outside and notify the user once it gets cooler outside so that AC can be turned off to use greener methods.

All that needs to be done for setting up is, add the location, customize the preferences, start monitoring and get notified to turn off your AC and to start using greener methods to cool your area.

  • Notification will only arrive when the temperature outside gets cooler for the rest of the day.
