Original Abstract Submitted
A system may provide an eco-feedback and gaming platform for home energy management. The system may generate daily energy scores for a plurality of households. The system may prepare a community energy conservation game in which community conservation goals and participation thresholds are generated. The system may execute the game by receiving time series date from each of the households and rewards the households for participating in achieving the community goal.
