Project Warm Shell proposes innovative solutions that work together to make homes responsive to their users in order to create intuitive and effective automated environments.
Implementation
Project Warm Shell is a series of concepts that turn a home into a responsive and energy efficient environment. The concepts work together to create reciprocal relationships between appliances, users and businesses by using wifi-enabled current-tracking power strips, a dynamic home interface that responds to human cues and a Data Trade Market where collected power usage data. Unlike other systems that track power consumption at a building level, Project Warm Shell tracks consumption for individual devices to create a comprehensive, empirical, real world data set that is anonymized and commodified to generate income for the users.
