Smart-grid technology for your home

Smart-grid technology for your home

Posted on January 8th, 2010 by Daniel

I was watching some of the videos from the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and I thought it would be cool to show you guys what we can expect to see in the near future, when it comes to green tech for your home or business. Here are a couple of clips (via cnet.com)

Control4’s Energy Management System (EMS) 100 allows you to see and control your energy usage. The system works by aggregating energy usage data from several locations in your home, and displays the electricity usage information in an intuitive way, so that you will finally understand that your 12-year-old consumes 30% of your energy bill from all the electronics he runs in his room… or it can tell you that it’s time to upgrade the 15-year old washer and dryer you have in your laundry room.. you get the idea.

Tenrehte Technologies‘ Picowatt Smart Plug – a wi-fi enabled device that you can plug-in your appliances/electronics into. This allows you to remotely control the power for your appliances, while you’re at the office, or away on a vacation…simple.

We love green tech. We are also here to serve you, so if you need a nice energy audit for your home or small business, or you are thinking of doing a little green remodeling (and maybe then use the devices above in your newly-remodeled eco-friendly home), give us a holler by starting here and entering your zipcode to find green contractors in your area.
