Geothermal Energy Redesign

Time

I've worked on this case in a very short design sprint in December 2020.

Role

Visual design, UX design

Problem

In December, I asked my dad, who owns a business specialised in geothermal energy and heatpumps if there are any existing apps for monitoring and controlling heatpumps at home/inn the office. He then showed me the Siemens app. I immediately saw a lot of functionalities that needed improvement in order to be visually appealing and also user friendly.

Topic research

I've researched the popularity of heatpumps to find out who would use this app. It turns out, heatpumps have been a popular method to provide large buildings and sites with heating. Since a few years, individual homes and households are also provided with geothermal energy. This makes this redesign very interesting, because when we talk about regular households and homeowners, our target audience becomes pretty large.
