Sustainable Living Dashboard “Rasheed”
Rasheed is a sustainable living dashboard that means “rational”, “wise” and “economical” in Arabic, referring to the households’ rationalization and monitoring of resources such as water and electricity. The initiative aims at monitoring produced waste and air quality. By understanding consumption patterns, residents can proactively manage their usage of resources and be rewarded based on improvements made through gamification and comparison with peers. This is crucially significant with the rapid population growth and the rising demand, requiring Al Madinah to manage urbanization efficiently, ensure sustainable development, preserve scarce natural resources and raise awareness among its residents. At the city level, the macro-analysis of households’ data using “Rasheed” sustainable living dashboard can be key to help manage different zones and plan for interventions and campaigns. The dashboard will rely on IoT-generated data that would be complemented with resources and tools available to residents to better manage their consumption.
