Abstract :
Reducing electrical energy consumption has become an important goal that needs to be achieved in the near future in order to reduce CO2 emissions. In this paper we are presenting a model that, through human intervention at certain points in time, aims to achieve that goal. By analyzing the behavior of electrical appliances and classifying the results the system is capable of offering to the end-user suggestions on how to reduce the energy consumption of their corresponding energy-depending activities.
