Electricity consumption at home can soon be monitored by Internet portal
During this autumn, some ten households in the Helsinki region test a new real-time system for measuring the electricity consumption. The electricity meters of the test households have been deployed with a device that sends the electricity use information to the server of the service provider. The consumers can monitor their own electricity use through the Internet where it is displayed as a real-time graphic representation. The HEAT project will be carried out during this year. The objective is to test the system in practise and get experience from households. The results are expected to provide valuable additional information about the use of advanced measurement techniques in order to reach better energy efficiency. The project is coordinated by the Finnish Environment Institute. Read more...
