Home Electricity Meter Re-design - Human Factors Project

This project was a human factors based redesign of a home electricity meter aimed at the ageing population.

The brief was set by the Apatsche research group who are conducting extensive research into the needs and requirements of that particular age group. The scope of the project is to hopefully create meters which allow the ageing user group to gain a greater level of control over their home energy usage in order to reduce the number of elderly and ageing adults who live in energy poverty.

With this in mind, I redesigned the meter to improve the user experience and simplify the process for a user group with very specific needs.
