| New approach to energy and resource monitoring  Advanced Telemetry has introduced EcoView, a proprietary, real-time energy and resource monitoring and control system for the residential customer. With the touch of a button or the click of a mouse, users can see up-to-the-minute reports on their energy and water consumption and take action to cut their carbon footprint and reduce costly utility bills. Controlled through a simple-to-install wireless touch panel or web interface, EcoView helps users understand and track how they are consuming resources in their home. Emboldened with this information, the home owner can make behavioral changes that will collectively result in the preservation of limited resources and reduced costs.Through EcoView, users can view real-time energy and water consumption, follow trends, track changes, identify key culprits of energy drain, set consumption goals, and directly control how resources in their home are being used. EcoView also provides reports on the comparable environmental benefits of using the system. For example, users can see how their energy conservation relates to their consumption footprint and how their conservation actions equals the number of trees they have saved or the amount of CO2 emissions they have reduced, as well as their actual savings in dollars. With EcoView, users can remotely adjust the thermostat, turn lighting on or off, and monitor virtually any other energy-consuming device with additional sensors. A homeowner, for example, could employ EcoView to adjust their thermostat setting from work, via the Internet, when weather conditions change. Whether raising the temperature in the winter just ahead of returning home from the office, or moderating air conditioning in the summer on days that don't turn out as hot as forecasted, the system provides homeowners with a means of enjoying comfortable climate control. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
