Final year project
EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND REDUCE THEIR ENERGY BILLS.

The system consists of a base-unit which displays individual's energy consumption and a light bulb socket adaptor which contains environmental sensors which helps track people's energy consumption.

The system will talk to the smart meter infrastructure to gain accurate billing and relay the information to a smartphone app for better insights.

Students would rent out the system by paying a deposit and a small service fee on top of their energy bill which they will individually pay through the app.

A fully functional electro-mechanical AeroPress machine designed and fabricated from the ground up. It allows the user to have a variable brew time in one second increments and automatic stirring.
Pete Chiewhawan
I am a multicultural creative with a passion for design. I enjoy problem solving and the euphoric feeling you get when the solution achieves its goal. My Final Year Design Project is a system which allows for the tracking of individual's energy consumption within a shared student house. The system comprises of a smart sensor which tracks user's consumption throughout their home and a base unit which represents that data in a physical manner.
Having helped push a family of smart home devices into the market during my year in the industry, I have gained a wide range of skills such as UX/UI design; design for manufacturing; suppliers’ relations; packaging design and built on my existing industrial design ability. During my final year, I have also developed my electronics prototyping and embedded system design skills using the PIC and Arduino platform by designing and making a fully functional electromechanical AeroPress machine; and creating the functional prototype for my final year project. My time at Loughborough University has made me become an extremely versatile designer with the capability to jump into a variety of projects and quickly adapt to many situations. This, and the ability to quickly learn new skills are what I believe to be my biggest strengths as a designer.
