The Utopi Resident App: Empowering You to Live Sustainably.
Living in student halls or BTR housing is about more than a place to rest your head; it’s about being part of a community that can benefit both you and the planet.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Utopi Resident App, designed to help you take control of your energy usage, improve your living environment, and make more sustainable choices.
The Utopi Resident App provides you with real-time data on your energy consumption and room temperature. This level of insights has typically been reserved for building managers, but Utopi is flipping the script by putting this powerful data directly into your hands.

This empowers you to make more informed, cost-effective decisions that save both energy and money.
Track Your Progress: Want to lower your carbon footprint? The app allows you to track your energy consumption over time, helping you to monitor and achieve your sustainability goals.
You can WIN 🏆: The app is designed so that every day your space temperature is within the set limits, you gain an entry into the chosen prize draw. It could be cash, it could be money off your rent, every site is different.
Gamifying Sustainability in PBSA
Utopi knows that sustainable living at Uni or in your rented accommodation should be more than just a checklist - it should be engaging and rewarding. That’s why the Utopi Resident App incorporates gamification features to motivate you in a fun, interactive way. What do we mean by that?
Sustainability Challenges: The app sets up challenges that encourage you to reduce your energy consumption or meet daily room temperature targets. Achieving these milestones isn’t just a good deed - it also comes with rewards!
Incentivised Rewards: As you hit your sustainability goals, you can earn rewards like vouchers, discounts, or other perks offered by your accommodation provider. This turns responsible living into a game where everyone wins - your wallet, the planet, and your community.
These gamification elements like real-time feedback and rewards help you get motivated to adopt eco-friendly behaviours, we’re all about making living sustainably easier! By turning eco-conscious efforts into an enjoyable experience, the Utopi Resident App makes it simpler for you to stick to your energy-saving habits.
Utopi + BTR: Saving the Planet and Your Wallet
Using the Utopi Resident App isn't just about feeling good - it’s about making a tangible difference. The Utopi Resident App offers a practical advantage: significant savings on energy bills. By providing real-time insights into energy consumption, the app empowers you to make more informed decisions about how you use electricity and heating. This means you can adjust your habits to avoid wasting energy, which can lower your monthly utility bills. Whether it’s turning off lights when not needed or regulating your heating more efficiently, or even turning it off when you go to work or go away for the weekend; these small adjustments add up to real financial savings over time. If you’ve been searching for an answer to the problem of rising utility bills, you’ve just found it.
But it’s not just a game-changer for your wallet, it’s a boost for the environment too. By using the app to stay on top of your consumption, you’re contributing to larger sustainability goals, helping your building reduce its overall carbon emissions. Every time you use the app to track and cut down your usage, you’re not just being environmentally responsible - you’re also saving money.
And that’s not all…
If cash prizes and reducing both your energy bills and your carbon footprint wasn’t enough… The Utopi Resident App is also designed to foster a sense of community in your building. By collectively working towards reducing your building’s overall carbon footprint, you and your neighbours can come together in the pursuit of greener living. This shared responsibility not only benefits the environment but complements the creation of more socially responsible communities.
Beyond just energy savings, the Utopi Resident App gives you greater control over the overall quality of your living environment. The app provides detailed information on your room’s temperature, helping you find the perfect balance between comfort and energy efficiency. You can see if you’re using more heating or cooling than necessary and adjust your settings accordingly. Whether it be through community building in your residence, or real-time access to your room conditions, we want to put the data in your hands.
