Tracking energy consumption after a sustainable HDB renovation (metrics)

Key metrics include monthly electricity bills, appliance-specific energy usage (using smart plugs or energy monitors), and overall carbon footprint.

Use smart plugs or energy monitors that provide real-time data on energy usage for each appliance. This helps identify energy-intensive devices.

Compare pre-renovation and post-renovation energy bills for the same period (e.g., the same month in consecutive years). Adjust for any changes in occupancy or usage patterns.

Better insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling, leading to lower energy consumption. Track changes in energy bills and indoor temperature stability to assess the impact.

Yes, smart thermostats, lighting systems, and energy monitors provide detailed data and allow for automated adjustments to optimize energy usage.

Solar panels reduce reliance on grid electricity. Track the amount of energy generated by the solar panels and compare it to your overall energy consumption to measure the impact.
