The development of Eco-Neighbour follows three main phases:

Conduct research to define user needs and specific task requirements to guide the design.

Develop a low-fidelity prototype and perform heuristic evaluations to improve usability.

Build a high-fidelity prototype, conduct user testing, and gather feedback for final improvements.

• The app assumes the use of innovative sensors and smart technology for tracking energy usage, water consumption, and other metrics.
• Creativity and innovation are encouraged—new or hypothetical technologies may be assumed to enhance user experience.

• Advanced Analytics: Enable users to access in-depth insights on their consumption habits.
• Community Events: Introduce collaborative events to foster neighborhood-wide sustainability efforts.
• Enhanced Social Features: Allow for more interactive and shareable content to deepen user engagement.
