Team Sustainable Systems - New Zealand

We are Team Sustainable Systems, a team of youth innovators from Auckland University of Technology (AUT), New Zealand. We answered the
Call of our Mother-nature, by developing a new innovation that would change the
Way how we Consume Energy and Sustain our already depleted Environmental Resources.
This is our '
Innovation Story', founded by a team of 4 students at AUT, New Zealand, with the mission to
ACT NOW and Develop a new Sustainable Platform for Consumers to Use, instead of ACTING LATER, when our resources run out.
We believe that you would find our story
Inspiring, coming up with the idea or sustaining our eco-resources through smart systems:
- Utilise Electricity in the Office more Efficiently, Cutting Office Cost.
- Give Consumers (Office Administrators) more Control over the Utilisation of Powered Office Equipments, No Matter Where They Are.
- Reduce the Wastage of Energy and Natural Resources like Paper through the Utilisation of our Smart Technological Breakthrough.
Imagine a World where Electricity can be Controlled via Mobile Phones - granting us the options to Turn Off of electrical devices while not being used. That is our product!
We are more than happy to share an advertisement which was designed for our product here with you through our Youtube link below:

We would really appreciate your time, when you find the chance to review our initiative and post your support towards our efforts to
Sustain Our Environment, through Intelligent Technologies.
We look forward for your response and support towards our cause!
Aligned with the
Act Now, we are,
"Acting Right Now on Our Climate Change, by Empowering People to
Efficiently Use Our Electricity!"

ActNow has been very kind to not only us, but to everyone around the world, by providing a Platform for Youths and Thinkers alike to Contribute Solutions, Initiatives and Ideas to Sustain Our Environment!
We are currently Exploring even More Opportunities with ActNow to Support our Cause and with your Help, Realize Our Mission!
Our Mission is not a 'One Goal', but a 'Goal for the Many!' A Goal where all of us, and generations to come would be able to share the Fruits of Our Achievements, in Joining Hands to Support the Mission and Sustaining Our World!
Our Innovation involves the Complex Re-Engineering of our Best Communication Tool - The Mobile Phone!
We have envisioned that IF Bill Gates can have his house being Remotely Automated, Why Can't We, citizens of the world?
We have develop ed a Mobile Application in both Hardware and Software format that would give users, an Edge and an Ease to Manage their Electrical Consumption!
With the ease of simply sending a Text Message to Turn Off Your Toaster, Who would not want such a Benefit?
Seeing that Sustaining Our World and Environment would ultimately be our Main Mission - We seek to explore avenues for us to Express, Expose and Impress society with our Innovation Idea!
So, Enters the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2008! The platform that we need to present our working prototype of one of the largest I.T. company on the globe!
The Microsoft Imagine Cup not only provide an avenue for Young Engineers and Programmers to express their Ideas, Innovations and Creativity to Save the World in its various Missions ---
--- But, we Team Sustainable Systems also believe in how Powerful and Enriching Such Competition can be to Empower Us to Develop Leadership, Teamwork and Networking skills, all under one same vision - To Innovate To Sustain the Environment!
Who is Wasting the Most Energy?
The general public would be persuaded with the fact that MAYBE, home users are the biggest energy wasters. Well, have a look at the various screenshots taken below, ranging from the most populated cities in the world, to prestigious central business districts around the globe.
It is obvious - Businesses Waste More Power. We would let the Pictures express our concerns for Businesses Wasting Power, primarily through their Offices.
Team Sustainable Systems is dedicated to engineer and implement practical technologies that would help, humans control, sustain and be aware of the importance of Sustaining the Environment and its Resources for the Betterment of Mankind.
The Sustainable Systems team from AUT has put in a lot of hardwork and effort in creating a totally new innovative solution from scratch, in response to the challenge of the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2008 Competition.
However, after working on the project for several months, the team found another Passion. A Passion to Champion to the Microsoft Imagine Cup both at the National and Global stage was still the primary goal for any High-Achiever in the team, HOWEVER, now they too realize the Importance of Making their Project Applicable and Functional for any ordinary citizens to use in the near future.
They realized that 'Saving the World should Never Wait for the Day of Tomorrow, but rather It Should START NOW!'
