A gamified platform for energy feedback and usage forecasting

The current energy consumption behaviour of mankind is causing results that are more catastrophic than just draining the resources of Earth. These results can be seen in the global warming and environmental damage in many places. All these problems serve as an indication for the need of a better conservative and sustainable behaviour. Based on the observed value of both feedback and serious games in such an issue, an attempt was made to combine these two elements together. The work presented in this paper presents the procedure of building a gamified energy feedback platform. In addition, a forecasting algorithm based on machine learning techniques was implemented in order to predict the future energy usage of the user.
