| dc.description.abstract | Innovator was formed by three students of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). The company proposed a device, the Intelligent Air Conditioner System (ICONS) which is connected to the air conditioner and a personal computer. ICONS will automatically adjust the temperature of the room Lt will also automatically switched on the air conditioner when a person enters the room and switched off the air conditioner when there is nobody in the room ICONS, consists of two parts, the controller box connected to the air conditioner and the software, programmed using the Fuzzy logic algorithm installed on a personal computer. Cost saving features is one of the marketing strategy used to promote the product to the public. Innovator promotes the product via internet, email, website, social network, the Internet and exhibitions. The unit cost of LCONS is sold at RM350.00 per unit. Sales projection for year one, two and three are RM420,000, RM840,000 and RM I ,680,000 respecti vely. The uniqueness of ICONS, is its ability to optimize the electrical usage. An analysis of the cost and energy consumption of appliances results show that air conditioner connected to the ICONS box and the computer would save more than 15% of the total electric bill. A technology acceptance research on ICONS has been carried out through a survey with a sample size of 100 respondents This research applied the correlation and regression analysis to study the user acceptance of ICONS. The correlation analysis showed that all variables are positively correlated. For the regression analysis, all the null hypotheses are rejected. Finally it can be concluded that users accept the use of ICONS into their household . | en_US |
