Sometimes it’s complicated for users to understand theirs monthly bill of the consumption of electricity. What it says and what it doesn’t. With the time-gap division, instead of helping to have a more efficient consumption and reduce expenses, they have brought more doubts.
Then, how can we make more comprehensible these new bills? How can technology make people – the least digital ones- to know and understand their electricity expenses and its costs? Even more, could it be possible real-time?
As solution givers our leiv motive is to make the user’s life easier, so we have to find those doubts that most affect the user with the method “How Might We…?”
We tested a sample of potential users, and what we saw is that they are looking forward to know:
- Real-time expense.
- Consumption of specific energies.
- Environmental impact.
With this, three flows were set to develop:
- To Be able to see the real-time consumption, in each room. Then inside those rooms, the user would be able to see individual gadgets and switch them on and off from the app.
- Access to bills and a summary chart of the expenses per room
- Access to consumption, energy and kind of energy used for that consumption, and the emission that have been generated for that consumption.

We have our goals. Let’s get into my favourite part: the interaction of the final user with the prototype.
We create wireframes which will help us to define the elements and the flows to develop. After having made several tests with potential final users, their opinions redefine functional aspects: It is compulsory for the interaction button to be more accessible. Other of the improvements that was made in High Fidelity it’s focused in the definition and the flow depth.
Flow: acces to real-time consumption of the house’s rooms and the connected gadgets.
Flow: user’s acces to their bills and a summary chart of the house’s rooms energy consumption.
Flow: acces to consumption, energy and kind of energy used, and the emissions that have been generated.
Flows developed: acces to real-time consumption of the house’s rooms, access to bills and access to consumption and kind of energy used.
