Energy Consumption

Kieran Simmons /

Wasting energy consumption is a bad thing, we all do it, whether its leaving our T.V on standby or leaving a light on. According various articles the household energy consumption has dropped by a quarter over a six year period. Many electricity and gas prices have risen over the years so people would be cutting down on their energy consumption.

Many electric and gas companies have created an app so you can see the consumption of how much energy and power you are using.

British Gas have created an app for your phone to check your consumption of energy and power, which is basically called a smart meter., where it tells you how much energy you are using and how much it is going to cost you do far for the next bill you have to pay.

This you can see is an app created by British Gas which you could get from the app store on your phone came out last year and almost 600,000 people have downloaded the app on to their phone. This app does look a bit dull at the minute.

My app would be slightly better and different to the British Gas app. The app that I would create would be quite colourful and will  be full of graphics that will be easy to understand. My app would consist of every electronic and gas items in there, from the lighting to heating the house. for example say if you left your laptop on by mistake you could get my app on your phone and then find the item that you left on and then simply click off on the app. When you get home you will see that your laptop is now off thanks to my app. As well as turning of your items using the app you can also use the app to see how much it is and it will compare to the average household energy consumption.

My app will hopefully get your energy consumption down in the house. Hopefully with my app your energy consumption will be lower than the national average.
