Help Me Get Some Energy
Why?
During the day you might feel low on energy, or you can’t focus, feeling restless, or any other feelings that can happen daily.
How?
An app that gives you a list of buttons for you to choose from. Each has a one or two-word description of a feeling or state you might find yourself in during an average day. When you press the button that corresponds to your state the most, you’ll get a short tip on how to change that state. It can be a mental or physical exercise, advice on eating or drinking something, etc. Each time you will also rate the effectiveness of the technique. Each time a new technique will be shown , and as time goes by you will build a library of techniques that work for you based on your experience and the feedback you give the app.

Local Smart Heating and Air Conditioning to Save Energy and Money
Why?
The way we heat or cool our homes is not optimal. A lot of energy and money is wasted.
How?
Have the ability to control the operation of each heating and cooling unit in each room. In the beginning, the system will work as usual, turning everything on or off based on time and temperature like a standard thermostat based system. At the same time, sensors in each unit in each room will observe your behavior patterns. When do you usually use that room, for how long, how much energy and heat do you dissipate into the environment, etc. When the system becomes smarter and recognizes useful repeating patterns, it will start predicting and controlling the heating and cooling. So if you always work in your study at certain times, the system will automatically turn off the unit in that room at a certain time before you leave, and turn it on again before it expects you to use it. This will maximize your comfort and energy usage.

Smart Staircase Lighting in Apartment Buildings
Why?
To save energy.
How?
Have sensors that “follow” people and where they are in the building, and only turn on the light where they are and the immediate surroundings. Can also be smart and predict ahead, for instance when someone enters the elevator and pushes a floor button, the system can predict when he’ll arrive and light up the corridor a bit in advance. All the time monitoring all corridors and elevator behavior to optimize for all data gathered.
