== Introduction ==

Electricity is a unique product that is consumed by the end-users in real-time without any awareness of the cost incurred and the impact it leaves behind. This has major consequences in terms of electricity prices and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) both short-term and long-term. To that end, real-time information about the situation of the grid (financial and environmental) combined with the electricity consumption of the end-users might encourage consumers to adjust themselves to be more green or to help the grid to reduce electricity prices. This can be significant for a big community such as U-City. In this project, we will create a “real-time greenness map of electricity consumption” that will be displayed on public screens in U-City building. To create a meaningful and truthful greenness map, we design algorithms to learn the consumers’ electricity consumption patterns based on the data obtained from the U-City building management system. We also fetch real-time GHG emission data from the Australian Energy Market Operator and/or other reliable resources. In addition to a single greenness map for the building, specialised greenness maps will be created for the major appliances to provide a directive yet optional information to save GHG by altering electricity consumption. The performance of the greenness map on altering end-users’ consumption will be quantified based on historical data.
