ChroViewOcc (App for Residents)
Description
ChroViewOcc is a mobile application designed for residential users to understand and improve their household’s energy performance in a simple and accessible way. It transforms building performance data – traditionally locked in administrative reports – into meaningful, real-time insights for everyday occupants. Drawing from IoT devices installed on site, the app visualises current indoor conditions (e.g. temperature, air quality) and monthly energy usage analytics.
Developed through user-centred design based on feedback from CHRONICLE pilot sites, ChroViewOcc focuses on clarity and usability, helping tenants interpret their energy behaviour, comfort levels, and environmental impact – even without technical expertise.

Features & Benefits
ChroViewOcc features a minimal and intuitive interface tailored for users with limited technical background. It offers real-time feedback on energy consumption, indoor air quality and comfort conditions, while providing actionable suggestions for energy efficiency, such as adjusting HVAC setpoints or aligning usage with renewable energy production.
Unlike more advanced CHRONICLE tools, ChroViewOcc prioritises ease of use and digestible insights over raw data, making it ideal for renters and non-expert occupants. By promoting awareness and behavioural change, the app empowers tenants to actively reduce energy use, improve comfort and lower utility costs – placing residents at the centre of the energy transition.
