Measure

Utility companies do little more today than providing a bill at the end of the month reflecting the total usage for the month and the amount to be paid. While a few utilities do provide basic historical data, it is still insufficient to indicate potential efficiency opportunities. The demand for power is growing and this power is used to operate gadgets and devices which were unheard of a decade ago. Understanding their nature of operations and consumption patterns will help in optimizing the energy demand without compromising on user comfort.
