Progressive Household Profiling
Unlock personalized, data-driven insights that help you tailor energy management systems to every household’s unique needs.
Elevate Your HEMS with Intelligent Household Profiling
At MOOST, we believe that precision in understanding household energy behavior is key to creating smarter, more efficient Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS). Our advanced Recommender System incorporates detailed profiling features that enable HEMS providers to offer personalized energy solutions for any household. By leveraging data on motivations, consumption patterns, and future forecasts, MOOST helps you optimize every recommendation for the best possible outcome.
Key Profiling Features
Discover the key features of the MOOST Progressive Household Profiling
Motivation Score
Pinpoint the Primary Motivation Behind Energy Decisions
Understanding a household’s motivation for adopting a HEMS is crucial. MOOST uses a set of Motivation Scores that reveal what drives a household’s investment in energy infrastructure, such as solar PV, EV chargers, heat pumps, and more. These scores help you recommend the most relevant solutions based on the household’s key motivations:
Economical Score
Does the household prioritize financial savings and cost reduction?
Ecological Score
How important is environmental sustainability to the household?
Self-Sufficiency Score
How much does the household value energy independence and self-reliance?
Multi-Person Score
Adapt Recommendations Based on Household Demographics
The Multi-Person Score measures the number of residents in a household on a scale from 0 to 1, where 0 represents a single-person household and 1 indicates a multi-person household. This score is critical for understanding consumption behavior, as energy needs can vary significantly based on household size.
Single Person
Lower consumption, but may benefit from solutions that maximize energy independence.
Multi-Person Household
Higher energy demand, requiring scalable solutions that support more significant consumption, such as larger solar PV systems or multiple EV chargers.
Commercial Score
Differentiate Residential and Commercial Energy Needs
The Commercial Score allows MOOST to distinguish between residential and commercial properties, ensuring the right energy solutions are recommended. While residential households may prioritize energy independence, commercial properties are more likely to focus on energy efficiency and cost savings at scale.
Residential
Focus on optimizing personal energy usage, solar installations, and EV charging.
Commercial
Focus on large-scale solutions, optimizing energy efficiency, and reducing operational costs.
Load Profile
Visualize and Analyze Energy Usage in Real-Time
A household’s Load Profile gives an in-depth view of current energy consumption, helping HEMS providers understand when and how energy is being used. This feature is essential for recommending strategies to optimize consumption and reduce waste. By analyzing the load profile, providers can suggest the right infrastructure, such as storage solutions or optimized PV sizing.
Power Generation & Power Consumption Forecasting
Anticipate Future Energy Needs and Opportunities
MOOST enriches its profiles with Power Generation and Power Consumption Forecasts through advanced algorithms. By predicting future consumption and generation patterns, HEMS providers can offer proactive solutions that anticipate energy demand and offer guidance on when to charge, when to discharge, and when to optimize energy usage.
Power Generation Forecasting
Know how much energy will be produced by solar panels or wind systems.
Power Consumption Forecasting
Predict the household’s energy needs, optimizing when and how energy is consumed.
Base Load Consumption
Minimize Energy Waste by Identifying Base Load Consumption
By calculating a household’s Base Load Consumption, MOOST identifies the minimum level of energy a home consumes for essential operations, regardless of time-of-day or other activities. Understanding the base load enables providers to recommend systems that cover this essential energy demand, ensuring more cost-effective and efficient energy management.
Interaction Data
Tailor Recommendations Based on Household Preferences
MOOST also tracks household interactions with notifications from the Recommender System. We analyze which types of alerts, tips, and recommendations a household responds to most positively. This data helps HEMS providers refine their systems, ensuring that each household receives the most engaging and useful content.
Likes & Dislikes Analysis
Gain insights into which notifications resonate with the household and refine future recommendations.
Behavioral Trends
Adapt the system to match household preferences, increasing engagement and satisfaction.
