Samoa Hostel Wattimus Prime
Abstract
Abstract The objective of this project was to design a metering scheme that would monitor the amount of energy used by the visitors staying at the Samoa hostel. The purpose of this was to show visitors the impact of their choices when they leave a device such as a cell phone charger plugged into an outlet. This is done by placing energy meters within every room of the Samoa hostel. However, most energy meters measure energy usage for a whole household. To meet this observation, we developed a design called the Watt-imus Prime which is able to measure electric flow from multiple circuits and display how much energy is used from one circuit or all of them simultaneously.
