TheDAIADobjectives

o Create real-time and detailed water consumption datao Leverage Big data assets from Smart Water Meters (benefits heavily questioned,

even for energy) and introduce personal water monitoring technologies (decouple metering from monitoring; empower consumers)

o Devise means to manage and extract knowledgeo Extract value from Big Water Data assets scalable at the city-scale (open research

challenge – see BDVA SRIA, critical for Data Economy and Clean-Web); current systems do not scale for highly-detailed, multi-dimensional data (time-series, determinants)

o Create interventions and stimuli that exploit this knowledgeo Effective real-time and diagnostic interventions that induce sustainable changes in

consumption behavior (multimodal, non-intrusive, attention-economy)o Apply new Big Data, insights, and consumer engagement facilities in WDM

o Depart from highly aggregated studies to harness detailed Big Data and effectivelytarget individual households (improve understanding, directly and indirectly influence demand)

DAIAD@home

o Turns SWM data into knowledgeo Self-induce water efficiencyo Personalized analysis &

recommendationso Goal-setting, comparisonso Increase satisfaction, outreach

and engagemento Source for accurate household

Web

Applications for consumers

DAIAD@utilityo Complete suite of monitoring, analysis,

& consumer interaction serviceso Leverages SWM data along with any

other available data source (geo, open, surveys)

o Effectively manages and analyzes BigWater data at the city scale

o Extracts detailed insights forcustomers

o Targeted consumer engagemento Cloud-based Software as a Service

(SaaS)o Multi-role support (WDM to CEO,

marketing)

Shower water meter: amphiro b1

o Fully integrated in DAIADo No batteries required

(energy-autarkic)o Bluetooth 4.0 enabled,

self-installedo Open API (I/O, settings)o Commercially available

DAIAD Pilots and preliminary results

o Alicante, Spaino Simulates deployment by a

water utility (top-down)o DAIAD as a complete

demand-side management system

o 1/3/2016-28/2/2017o 102 households, 293

consumerso SWM + b1 (1-4)

o St. Albans, UKo Simulates uptake by a

consumers (bottom-up)o DAIAD as an off-the self

Cleanweb producto 1/3/2016-28/2/2017o 47 households, 164 consumerso b1 only

The DAIAD System

Insights to dateo The majority of customers do not know,

nor understand, how much water they use even for simple tasks

o Strong, genuine consumer interest for more information on water use

o The savings potential is there, but not thesame from everyone; individual elasticityand consumer targeting is key

o Real-time interventions seem to have greater impact than diagnostics; but diagnostics are easier to tune up

The DAIAD System

Summary of issueso Unsupported mobile devices (not iOS/Android)o Low-cost Android BT stack (delays): developed proprietary libraries for

specific deviceso Malfunctioning b1 devices < 5%o Additional b1 pairing (caused by BT stack problems)o Anxious and impatient participants: frequent communicationo BT throughput and prioritization for historical shower extractions (2

major improvements)o Low-cost Android stability & compatibility (increased in-situ testing)o Extremely low-flow scenarios (<4lt/min): impossible to support with

current technologieso SWM data irregularities (missing data points, negative values):

increased robustness of the complete system
