However, people's perception about using smart technology for energy saving 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 itsintegral role,modulating consumers' attitudes towardsenergysavingscan be a challenge. Notably, the gap in today's smart technology design in smart homes is the understanding of consumers' behaviour and the integration 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 focused on the perception of Singapore households on smart technology and its usage to save energy. Areas of current research include: (1)energyconsumptioninSingaporehouseholds, (2) public programs and policies in energy savings, (3) use of technology in energy savings, and (4) household perception of energy savings in smart homes. Furthermore, three casestudiesarereviewedinrelation to smart homes and smart technology, whilediscussing the maturity of existing solutions.Keywords:Energy conservation, Household perception, Smart homes, Singapore1.IntroductionClimate change is a global challenge. The change in the global climate system is directly caused by human activities, which is giving rise to the highest greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in human history (Pachauri and Meyer, 2014). Studies have shown that GHG have attributed to extreme weather and changes to natural and human systems (Pachauri and Meyer, 2014). These climate changes include floods, droughts, and interrupted food production, which ultimately force people to migrate to safer areas. Extensive exposure to heat waves also affect people's health negatively, and may even spread diseases across multiple territories (Xu, 2015). According to Pachauri and Meyer (2014), electricity and heat production contributed to 25% of the highest proportion of total global GHG emission. This highlights the importance and urgency of sustainable energy consumption to reduce GHG emissions.In line with the Paris agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in December 2015 (National Climate Change Secretariat, 2016a), Singapore has pledged to reduce 36% of GHG emissions from year 2005 by 2030. Even as a relatively small country, Singapore is also affected by climate change. Statistics show that Singapore's average temperature has risen from 26.6°C to 27.7 °C from year 1972 to 2014, with the rise in annualsea levels at between 1.2 and 1.7 mm from year 1975 to 2009 (National Climate Change Secretariat, 2016b). Besides making international commitment, Singapore has made conscious efforts to change internally to deal with climate change.Given the global environmental issues, there is a global trend and demand for energy saving and smart technology to increase the efficiency of energy consumption. According to the Energy Market Authority (EMA; 2015), households account for approximately 15% of electricity consumption in Singapore. Under the Energy Conservation Act (2012), the Mandatory Energy Labelling was introduced for registered goods in Singapore. This means that all electrical appliances (refrigerators,air conditioners, etc.) sold in Singapore must be energy labeled.The role of smart home technologies to increase energy efficiencies in households is becoming increasingly important. A survey has been conducted on the consumers' perception and awareness towards adapting new technologies, as wellas therole of thesetechnologiesin saving energy. According to Balta-Ozkan et al. (2014), 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 its electricity consumption and making lifestyle changes to save electricity. Moreover, Balta-Ozkan et al. (2013) noted that a smart home does not only provide benefits of efficient energy management, but also provides benefits 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 (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 be done for it to be successful.2.Methods and aimsThere is a global trend and demand for smart technology to reduce energy consumption. According to Pachauri and Meyer (2014), electricity and heat production contributed 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 been promoting a lot of policies and programs about energy saving, there has been very few empirical studies on energy saving conducted in Singapore households. Many overseas studies have shown that households are very positive to the idea of saving energy through smart homes and are willing to invest in new technologies. However, those findings cannot be generalized to Singapore's context, as culture, infrastructure, eco-system, support from government and other factors might be different inSingapore. Therefore, there is a critical need to understand energy saving in Singapore households through smart homes.The current research will explore the perception of households on energy saving and give fair understanding about the acceptance of smart technologies in Singapore households. The research aims to achieve the following:A1: To evaluate success stories on saving energy in urban households through smart homesA2: To explore Singapore household perceptions on saving energy through smart homesA1 covers the research of three case studies that have implemented smart homes to save energy in urban cities. These success stories will provide better insights on how smart homes and how smart technologies can be used to save energy. The case studies have been selected based on their research with smart home technology and related energy savings. Moreover, they aligned with this papers sections covering policies, smart homes and consumer's perception of energy savings.A2 covers an online survey conducted to receive insights on energy consumption in Singapore households by looking at the effectiveness of government policies to save energy, usage of smart technologies in households, and households' perception about energy saving through smart homes Two hundred households were randomly selected for the study. A total of 131 valid responses were received via mail showing a 66% response rate. The questionnaire comprised of closed ended questions categorised under four sections: energy consumption in Singapore; public policy on energy saving in Singapore; use of technology in energy saving and household perceptions of energy saving.Since Singapore is one of the most developed countries in the world and its government is actively promoting policies and programs to save energy, it is predicted that Singapore households will have a positive perception towards energy saving and will see benefits of using smart technologies. This will directly address some of the environmental issues and reduce households' electricity bills.Case studies: Global success stories of energy savings in urban households.Case 1:Chinese consumer attitudes towards energy saving: The case of household electrical appliances in Chongqing.Key words: Government Policies, Energy efficiency, energy savingsMa et al. (2013) conducted a case-study which explored 246 consumer's attitudes towards energy savings through a questionnaire over a one-year period from 2009 to 2010. The survey was conducted in Chongqing, China and was conducted via face-to-face surveys due to previous experience of no or low feedback.The findings are based on a survey of questionnaires covering knowledge, awareness, and behavior patterns around saving energy. Results show a high level of knowledge among the respondents that energy is a challenge, but less knowledge about saving energy at home. Knowledge about government policies was clearer among the younger respondents and those with higher education level. Moreover, the results show a good level of awareness around energy pricing. This was matched up against the knowledge of which appliances consumed the most energy, and rightfully, the respondents consistently ranked airconditioners and refrigerators highest, whereas light bulbs and fans at the lowest. The study concluded that the willingness to save energy is high among the citizens, given that their comfort of living are not affected. It also show that general information about government policies and awareness about energy savings could be provided in a more informative manner with better results to build energy-saving behaviors among the citizens.In conclusion, the study showed that there was a general awareness about energy savings and government policies, though little understanding about energy savings. Nevertheless, participants were willing to save energy, yet they lacked the proper guidance and awareness about proper energy saving behavior.Case 2: Consumers' Perspective on Full-Scale Adoption of Smart Meters: A Case Study in Västerås, Sweden.Keywords: Smart meters, energy saving, electricity consumptionThis recent case study (Vassileva and Campillo, 2016) described a full-scale implementation of smart meters integrated with a smart grid in Västerås, Sweden. A survey was conducted to evaluate the consumer's perspective and feedbacks in regardsto energy savings and information given to the consumers around pricing and other information. Over the years, appliances have become more energy-efficient, but consumers tend to have more energy-consuming appliances than before, which results in a higher combined energy consumption.The survey was conducted online, which was considered to get the best feedback from the participants as they felt they had greater privacy. Questions included perceptions from consumers on smart meters and energy savings, but also covered their expectations of using smart meters, and if they find energy saving important. The survey is distinct between genders, age groups, and whether the consumers receive the energy bill by paper or electronic format. Findings show that consumers would have to learn how the usage of their appliances affect energy consumption, and therefore, learn to change their behavior patterns to use the appliances more efficiently. Higher energy efficiency was also indicated among consumers with smart meters over time.To sum up, this case study evaluated the energy consumers in a city with smart meters, and show that smart meters can provide detailed energy consumption information and possibility for consumers to choose between pricing plans. However, it was also revealed that in reality this has not been achieved yet, furthermore the higher level of energy savings through knowledge of smart meters and electricity price offerings has not been reached. Results show that there was not enough information provided by the smart meter data, thus consumers would not be able to understand or take action based on the data provided. This highlighted that consumers need to be better informed and educated in understanding appliance energy consumption. Concomitantly, energy providers must also provide adequate information around the energy consumption data.Case 3: Case Study of Smart Meter and In-home Display for Residential Behavior Change in Shanghai, China.Keywords: Smart meters, energy savings behaviorA case study conducted by Xu and colleagues (2015) has covered one of the national issues, which is the high energy consumption levels in Shanghai, one of the most densely populated urban cities in China. Energy saving behaviors in householdswere investigated through inhome displays and smart meters. The study claimed that one of the main contributors to high carbon emission is the building sector in China and there is a huge demand to reduce energy consumption in those buildings. Since households are part of the buildings, the case study has explored energy consumptions behavior of households through implementation of smart meters and in-home displays.In this case study, smart meters and in-home displays were installed in two newly-built apartment buildings. A total of 131 households participated in this study (76 without in-home display devices, 55 with the devices). There were additional sensors and devices installed to assist data gathering from smart meters and inhome displays. Data from smart meters were shown on in-home displays and transferred to back-end system via the internet. Raw energy data, statistical data, and background information data were stored in dedicated databases, so researchers could work on the respective data separately.In conclusion, this case study was successful as it showed that households' behavior towards saving energy positively changed due to installation of smart home technologies. This study is relevant to Singapore's context as it was conducted in a similar densely populated urban city.3.Survey findings and discussionIn the survey, 50% of the responses from households' have monthly energy bills ranging from SGD$100 to 200. While, 53% of the respondents believed that the price of their energy bill is “about right”, 31% believed that it is “too high”and 9% believed it is “far too high”. Respondents also indicated their awareness of which household appliances consume the most energy. Air-conditioners, washing-machines, and water heaters have scores that ranged from medium to high (in terms of energy consumption), with air-conditioners scoring the highest among all choices. It should be noted that Singapore is situated on the equator and experiences a hot and humid climate for most of the year. As a result, air conditioners may be used throughout the year. In addition, respondents mostly agreed on the fact that using energy efficientappliances would help them to save energy. This finding is consistent to Case Study 1, whereby households also recognized the particular appliances that consume most energy.With regards to the perceptions on using smart home meters, inhome displays, and relevant smart home devices, respondents indicated that they were less convinced that the technology was capable of helping them to save energy, in comparison to using energy efficient appliances directly. This might be due to the fact that the respondents have not 'visualized' the actual effect on the devices and technologies before. As in Case Study 3, households became more aware of their energy usage and saved their consumption when they had in-home smart meters and devices installed, as they allowed them to easily control their energy consumption patterns and behaviors to save energy.Next, respondents mostly agreed that the reduction of energy consumption could be encouraged by educating the public on environmental issues. Therefore, educating individuals earlier on would result in successful knowledge on environmental issues as well as linking it to how it could affect their lives, thereby resulting in appropriate energy consumption. As we could also observe in the Chongqing case study, lack of proper education and guidance could have a negative impact on households' energy savings visions.Government legislation on available market products is another aspect that survey respondents tend to accept and agree on its effectiveness. The ideas behind the legislations of Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme and Minimum Energy Performance Standard do not only apply to Singapore's context. As observed in Case Study 1, the Chinese government have these policies implemented to raise energy efficiencies in households too.On the other hand, respondents in general were either not familiar or did not pay enough attention on relevant government policies. The Energy Efficiency Programme office provides a holistic energy efficiency plan across all sectors, which also include households. The office has a dedicated website that provides information and tips to households on easy-to-follow procedures for consumers. Nevertheless, it seemed thatthe respondents were not aware of this. The descriptive statistics indicated the Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme draws the most familiarity as compared to other policies, and it maybe because whenever households are choosing which appliances to purchase, they could see the corresponding labels on each of the appliance. This legislation does not only exist in Singapore, but also in other major cities, like Chongqing that was mentioned in the case study.In conclusion, with the pledge of the government to the Paris agreement, its vision to tackle global warming and other climate issues are evident. As a result, they would further contemplate strategies and policies across all sectors including households to achieve its vision. Energy saving and efficiency certainly is one big aspect that they would research and tackle. They would continue to build on the existing National Policy Energy Framework. Smart home technologies could play a crucial role to have an impact on households' behaviors in energy consumptions, and to be taken into considerations by the government while they contemplate the relevant strategies and policies.In regards to the usage of technology in energy savings, responses from the survey indicated that smart technology in appliances could help saving electricity. This highlighted the awareness about energy savings, and the purchase decision may often reveal the consumer's plan for long term energy savings.The majority of the participants would invest in smart technology to save energy in their household. Smart technology and smart home devices will eventually be interconnected with health-sector platforms as well as to power plants and other utility providers. Such integration will host the risk of privacy and confidentiality over personal data (e.g., patient records in hospitals). Therefore, there is a big concern about security on smart technology (Popescul and Radu, 2016), and how to manage security risks to secure the privacy of personal data (Bugeja et al. 2016). This is considered a critical risk, as a hacker could take control over the smart home controller or appliances, like surveillance cameras. In the survey, this security risk was reflected from the concern of the participant.The survey also shows a focus on energy savings using smart technology,followed by an increase of security. (Note that security is part of comfort and safety in the home.) This is where surveillance comes in, in the forms of cameras and motion detectors. In the survey, energy savings and comfort are voted more favorably, followed by security as the least important among the three options.Finally, survey results show that 67 Singapore households either agree or strongly agree that “smart home”concept is associated with energy efficiency. Moreover, these households also perceived “convenience”as one of the important aspects of a smart home. Survey findings have highlighted that close to 52% of households are concerned about environmental issues, which was their main reason to save energy. On the other hand, close to 44% of respondents have associated energy saving with reduction of electricity bills.In summary, the findings are very much aligned with other studies in terms of household perceptions on saving energy through smart homes. Households (in particular, aspiring energy savers and monitor enthusiasts) in Singapore have shown concerns on environmental issues, and are willing to invest in smart home technologies to address them.4.Conclusion and policy implicationsMost people perceive electricity as a normal commodity which is readily available. Smart technology and smart homes will require the consumers to take action in order to control appliances and to save energy. Findings from the case studies show that the behavioral patterns of consumers may not change just to save energy. Even though an individual claimed to be concerned about the environment and energy-saving, it is evident that comfort and security play a bigger role in people's life. The present research showed a gap on the maturity and design of the technology as it does not take people's behaviors and perceptions as part of the smart home design functionality. Therefore, smart home technologies would not be efficient if it is not designed with artificial intelligence modules that allow the technology to seamlessly interact with consumers. Also, to achieve a successful smart home solution in Singapore, smart technology must be integrated into public services and utility sectors,such as smart grids and health sectors. For example, smart meters should detect behavioral patterns and proactively take action, so that consumers no longer have to actively turn on light if needed. Likewise, notifications through mobile gadgets or house consoles can provide advice for the best time to turn on certain appliances (e.g., washing machines). Lastly, the findings in this research showed that the maturity of the smart meters are still at its early phase, but projects like Singapore Smart Nation might be one of the leading projects to improve the technology and smart homes in the near future.中文译文：智能城市的智能家居节能：新加坡家庭的一课摘要由于全球气候变化和能源挑战的激增，节能成为了一个热门话题。
