This app is designed to help users shift their energy consumption from peak emissions times, known as "red hours" (typically between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.), to "green hours" (10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), when solar energy is most abundant. By encouraging users to adjust their habits and use energy during low-emission periods, the app promotes more sustainable electricity consumption.

Key Features:

  • Guided Energy Shift Steps:
    • The app provides simple, actionable steps to help users reduce energy use during red hours and shift it to green hours, maximizing reliance on clean, solar energy.
  • Usage Pattern Adjustments:
    • The app encourages users to modify when they perform common household tasks like running the air conditioner, using the dishwasher, doing laundry, cooking, and charging electric vehicles, recommending optimal times for lower emissions.
  • Real-Time Notifications:
    • Users receive reminders and prompts to adjust their energy use based on real-time grid conditions, helping them adopt more energy-efficient habits throughout the day.

This app empowers individuals to take control of their energy consumption patterns, reduce their carbon footprint, and contribute to a cleaner energy grid by shifting usage away from peak emissions times.

It pairs with the Red Light Holland Wisdom Lamp designed by famous designer Karim.
