“…On the other hand, Berendes et al [20] introduce a novel method called Energy System Modeling Usability Testing (ESMUT), accompanied by a detailed guide and a specific usability questionnaire (ESMUQ) based on the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire and adapted for quantitative usability testing in open-source energy system modeling frameworks. The case study results revealed that, in general, participants were satisfied with the frameworks tested.…”

This paper presents a study that evaluates the usability and user experience of a mobile application interface for residential energy management, adopting a hybrid approach that integrates quantitative and qualitative methods within a user-centered design framework. For the evaluation, metrics and tools such as the User Experience Questionnaire Short (UEQ-S) and the System Usability Scale (SUS) were used, in addition to the implementation of a fuzzy logic model to interpret and contrast the data obtained through these metrics, allowing a more accurate assessment of usability and user experience, reflecting the variability and trends in the responses. Three aspects evaluated stand out: satisfaction with the interface, ease of use, and efficiency. These are fundamental to understanding how users perceive the system. The results indicate a high likelihood of user recommendation of the system and a high overall quality of user experience. This study significantly contributes to mobile application usability, especially in residential energy management, offering valuable insights for designing more intuitive and effective user interfaces on mobile devices.

“…Several studies also consider usability as an important system quality attribute that affects the adoption of information systems (Berendes et al, 2022;Llerena et al, 2019;Sagar and Saha, 2017). According to (ISO, 2001), usability concerns the ability in which a software product can be understood, learned, used effectively and efficiently in a specified usage context.…”
