The screenshot consists of a large main dashboard for a “Smart House Simulator” featuring a 3 D architectural model of a house surrounded by trees in a landscape. On the left side of the screen, there are three information panels. The top panel, titled “Architectural Overview”, lists three areas: “Kitchen and Dining” numbered “1”, “Bath” numbered “2”, and “Bedroom” numbered “3”. The middle panel, titled “Environmental Monitoring”, displays the following data: “Temperature: 18 degrees Celsius”, “Humidity: 39 percent”, “Air Quality Index: 2”, and “P M 2.5: 0.97 micrograms per cubic meter”. The bottom panel is titled “Benchmark Comparison” and features a legend for “Energy Performance” and “Benchmark”. At the bottom center, an “Occupancy Panel” shows two progress bars: “Living Room: 0.2 h” and “Kitchen or Dining: 0.0 h”. Next to this are control buttons labeled “Toggle Heating”, “Toggle Day or Night”, “Kitchen or Dining Lights On or Off”, and “Living Room Lights On or Off”. On the right side, the top panel titled “Electricity Consumption” displays numerical data: “Today: 59.27 K W H”, “Yesterday: 57.43 K W H”, “This Month: 1,659.56 K W H”, and “Last Month: 1,422.49 K W H”. An icon at the bottom of this panel indicates “Last Updated: 2025-05-28 11:00:26”. Below this is a large graph panel titled “Electricity Consumption (K W H)”. The graph consists of multiple vertical bars of varying heights that show the daily electricity usage in K W H for different dates. The horizontal axis includes buttons for “DAILY”, “MONTHLY”, and “YEARLY”, with a date selector showing “2025-05-16”.Smart house simulator interface. Source: Authors' own work
