EcoGazer

Our solution tackled the challenge posed by Siemens SA to develop a mobile tenant app designed to empower residents by enhancing their understanding of energy consumption and motivating them to improve energy efficiency. EcoGazer leveraged data from Building X, Siemens’ digital platform for sustainability and building performance, to provide valuable insights and tailored recommendations for tenants through advanced data analytics and AI. With features like dynamic energy consumption visualizations, gamification elements, comparisons with similar tenants, personalized goal tracking, and an LLM-powered assistant, we created a user experience that truly prioritizes tenants’ needs.

Our sincere thanks to the One Stop Liaison Office of the Region of Central Macedonia for leading the organization of the competition, as well as to all co-organizers, sponsors, and supporters. Special thanks to the challenge owner Ms Semira Maria Evangelou and our coach Dr. Theologos Prokopiou, for the great collaboration and support.
