I just found a cool site still in Beta testing that lets you see what energy usage your home has. Microsoft’s new Hohm program allows you to see what you’re using, what people in your area are using, and what you can do to improve the amount of energy you use. They give some great tips on everything from weather stripping your home to reducing your heating and cooling bills to how much energy your hair dryer uses. I bet you’ve never actually stopped to think about that, have you? I know I haven’t.
Hohm is actually a pretty cool site. I went on and compared the houses of a couple of my friends and it was interesting to be able to report back to them who “won” the challenge. If nothing else, it’s fun to spy on your neighbors, right? It’s ok, we all do it. Check out Hohm at http://www.microsoft-hohm.com/
The Microsoft Hohm site is very cool. The PowerCost Monitor is a great tool to work hand in hand with Microsoft Hohm. We provide real time information wirelessly from the homes electrical meter to our monitor in the house. Our sensor, which passively attaches to the meter works with over 90% of both digital and mechanical types. The Appliance function on the monitor allows the homeowner to travel throughout the home and capture real time usage and costs. Having this information and using Microsoft Hohm will help the homeowner in managing their energy consumption and spending.
