PowerZee will
crowd-source from SIEW attendees to gain feedback on hot-cold temperatures of
function rooms at Sands Expo and Convention Centre used for event. For every
app download and first hot-cold declaration, ENGIE will plant a tree in Sumatra
through social enterprise Reforest’Action. Data gathered will
be used by facility managers of Marina Bay Sands to optimize room temperatures,
minimize energy consumption and maximise energy efficiency.

Developed by global
energy leader ENGIE, and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as part of the
EcoCampus Living Lab supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board
(EDB), a pilot version of the app was trialled by students within the campus in
2015, and by mid this year, a full version of the app was deployed for the
campus.

The app is testament
to Singapore’s long-standing Living Lab approach, where companies develop, test
and commercialise clean energy solutions from Singapore, for the region and
beyond.

Background on PowerZee
Co-designed by ENGIE
Lab and NTU, PowerZee was created as a tool to educate and engage students and
staff on energy efficiency and savings through gamification, social networking
and crowd sourcing, advocating better use of campus energy, water and waste. The
pilot phase attracted 1,850 students, representing 4.4 percent of the NTU
population, using the campus as a ‘Living Lab’ to test the prototype between
February and June 2015.

Following the
successful development and trial on EcoCampus, a full version of PowerZee has
since been deployed at the entire campus of NTU, as well as Cité Internationale
Universitaire de Paris in France. In October 2016, PowerZee was launched under
the Energy Market Authority’s (EMA) Project
OptiWatt – a pilot program with 16 partners – to promote
demand-side management initiatives to optimise energy consumption.

PowerZee is a product
of ENGIE’s commitment to reduce environmental impact through energy innovation
and technology in Asia. With the establishment of ENGIE Lab Singapore,
supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), solutions will be
continuously developed to address the region’s energy challenges in a bid to
build a better Singapore for future generations.

PowerZee Features
Key features of the
PowerZee app include:
PowerZee app include:
1.
Temperature crowdsourcing tool allows users to
provide feedback on hot-cold air-conditioning temperatures in buildings across
Singapore and tracked through an interactive map of the island. The data
collected can be shared with the facility management team to adapt air
conditioning settings.

Green Coach helps to reduce
energy consumption with small daily actions called “eco-gestures” and
“eco-actions”. Energy savings can be achieved in seven categories: water,
electricity, cooling, heating, waste, transport and lighting. Users can track
their energy savings through committed eco-actions with individual statistics
based on the average impact the eco-gestures can have on
energy consumption.
