Leafully• Leafully is about helping

people understand energy

usage. A huge problem is

that the units of energy are

hard to comprehend.

Leafully• Leafully brings these terms down to

something simple - a tree. Leafully

also recognizes that energy usage is

more than just electricity usage and

thus tries to give the user a toal tree

footprint - the amount of trees

needed to offset the pollution

created by one's energy

consumption.

Leafully• Leafully is organized into a few

main areas: diving deep into the

hourly data with historic trends,

understand the effect of the

abstract units of energy, and

taking action with tree values in

mind along with friends.

Leafully• To use the application you

will need to authenticate

with your Facebook login.

Once you have

authenticated you'll be

prompted to connect to

Green Button data.

Leafully• Once you are logged in, you'll

have 4 main views: overview,

trends, calculator, ways to

save. You can learn more

about what other data we

used to produce the site in

the learn more link at the top.

Leafully• With trends and charts, Leafully

aims to show users how

decisions in their lives make an

impact. Sleeping energy

represents the always-on factor

that can be reduced through

buying higher efficiency

appliances.

Leafully• We hope to incentivize the

user by show them no only

their energy saving, but the

impact to the environment.

Leafully• Paying a premium may seem

expensive for an appliance

that may monetarily break

even after many years, but

knowing that you

contributed 10 trees to the

environment is priceless.

Leafully• We also hope to demonstrate the

true need of smart grids through

peak energy-trees by showing the

difference when they use energy

from less efficient and potentially

dirtier plants. The trends chart

calculates this difference when the

tree unit is selected on the peak

energy metric.

Leafully• We show the user the mix of

energy they consume and show

them the impact of switching to

complete renewables. We

envision consumers choosing to

pay a premium to reduce their

footprint by tens if not hundreds

of trees by going green.
