3、esson for Singapore householdsAbstract Energy saving is a hot topic due to the proliferation of climate changes and energy challenges globally. However, people's perception about using smart technology for energy s

4、aving is still in the concept stage. This means that people talk about environmental awareness readily, yet in reality, they accept to pay the given energy bill. Due to the availability of electricity and its integral ro

5、le, modulating consumers' attitudes towards energy savings can be a challenge. Notably, the gap in today's smart technology design in smart homes is the understanding of consumers' behaviour and the integrati

6、on of this understanding into the smart technology. As part of the Paris Climate change agreement (2015), it is paramount for Singapore to introduce smart technologies targeted to reduce energy consumption. This paper fo

7、cused on the perception of Singapore households on smart technology and its usage to save energy. Areas of current research include: (1) energy consumption in Singapore households, (2) public programs and policies in ene

11、ngly important. A survey has been conducted on the consumers' perception and awareness towards adapting new technologies, as well as the role of these technologies in saving energy. According to Balta-Ozkan et al. (2

12、014), a smart-home is a home equipped with connected devices, appliances and sensors that can communicate with each other, and can be controlled remotely. These functions provide consumers the flexibility of monitoring i

14、nefits such as improved lifestyle, security and safety. Smart metering, appliances and home automation devices are some of the many technologies that can be used to change electricity consumption patterns of households (

15、Paetz, 2011).This article aims to find out the households' behaviors on energy consumptions; it also attempts to identify the benefits and obstacles on the implementation on smart home technologies, and how it should

17、 to 25% of the highest proportion of total global GHG emission. This highlights the importance and urgency of sustainable energy consumption in order to reduce the emissions of GHG. Although the Singapore government has
