The utility bill for each household only shows the bi-monthly statement of the household’s total energy consumption. With no further breakdown in the statement, this does not help consumers to manage their energy usage as they do not know which appliances are using more energy and areas where they can cut down on energy wastage. By using the home energy audit handphone application, users would be able to identify the main energy guzzlers in their homes.
