With global warming being at the forefront of many government policies, everyone is being challenged to drastically reduce their personal energy consumption in the home.

To take that responsibility they must, as a minimum, be able to conveniently correlate different activities with energy consumption.

More complex systems allow connection to the Smart Grid to monitor and intelligently control many devices and functions within the house.

 • It constantly monitors electric, gas and water use and provides accurate consumption and carbon footprint information in real-time, from any web enabled device, from anywhere in the world. The system intelligence can send automatic notifications of leaks, excessive energy use or carbon emissions via email or text messaging, and can seamlessly communicate with home control systems.

 •  Measuring the ecological footprint of a property in real-time, the technology can monitor each individual circuit, water line, and gas appliance. The flexible system can also track other factors such as temperature/humidity, output from solar PV, performance of solar or geo-thermal water heating, and indoor air quality. Current and historical information is automatically stored allowing powerful trend analysis and comparative features to be easily displayed across any time period.

• Is able to provide administrative control over the residence energy consuming strategy as well, by defining usage patterns and strategies.

• Safety proactive and reactive activities, through the configuration of automatic alarms based on data being monitored
