Energy Management MismatchProducts in Market
− Point solutions
− Measure at whole house or outlet level
− Present limited data, and do nothing to interpret it
− Expect consumers to come to them
Typical Consumer− Takes a “holistic” view
− Needs data at right level of granularity to be meaningful
− Needs help analyzing & diagnosing

User Feedback“The eMonitor is a robust and finished product. It's not just that it works
once installed; it works flawlessly. I have not had a single gotcha, bug, UI
display or data problem since I installed it and I can't tell you how rare that
is. I've done product development for software companies and to have this
system work like this out of the box is amazing.
The best part is that I know the exact energy footprint pattern of my entire
house and can control it. I know what is waste vs. necessity. I have not
lowered my living standards one whit, but I have completely eliminated
expensive and unnecessary consumption.” – Chris Hunt, San Carlos CA

User Feedback cont’d“I was amazed to find that my furnace accounted for 40% of my electricity usage. It turns out, I had inadvertently turned on the whole-house humidifier attached to the furnace, and it was sucking up energy like crazy. Now that the problem has been diagnosed and fixed, I am probably going to knock $70 off my bill for next month! Without the eMonitor, who knows how long it would have taken me to diagnose and correct the problem?” – George Twigg, Burlington Vermont
“After watching the market for several years, I was thrilled to find the eMonitor. The system has all the major features I was looking for: 1) individual circuit monitoring, 2) simple installation, 3) web based interface, 4) attractive price point. The eMonitor has provided a myriad of insights and takes homeowner awareness to a whole new level. Once you know what's really happening in your house, you are then empowered to do something about it.” – Adam Prince, Eastham MA
