What is Casa?
Casa, a pioneering home-interface platform (3840 x 2560 pixels), is designed to empower shared homes to revolutionise their approach to understanding utilities and managing their consumption habits. This concept aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) & 12 (Responsible consumption & Production). This innovative tool not only introduces an engaging dimension to household management but also enhances the overall efficiency of resource usage.
In essence, Casa emerges as a sophisticated home interface, seamlessly blending gamification and utility data analysis to promote a more sustainable and cohesive living environment. Through its dynamic features, Casa is poised to redefine the way shared households engage with and manage their utilities, contributing to a more conscious and harmonious communal living experience.
The platform leverages access to household utility information to equip users with two distinctive features.
-
Primarily, Casa employs a gamification strategy, presenting households with interactive challenges embedded in their daily tasks. For instance, users may be prompted to conserve energy by keeping the main lights off after 9 pm. Notably, this gamified approach not only incentivises responsible resource use but also harbours the potential to foster a sense of camaraderie among household members.
-
Casa also provides households with a breakdown of their utility consumption, spanning past, present, and future usage. By consolidating information typically scattered across various platforms, Casa streamlines data accessibility, enabling users to make informed decisions about their consumption patterns. This feature not only facilitates efficient management but also encourages residents to adopt more calculated approaches to their resource choices.
