PowerPlayer™ - Energy management concept

	Concept
	Play the game of energy and money saving

	Introduction Most households have no means to judge their energy use other than their annual or monthly bill from the utility provider. Dedicated automated home energy monitoring and controls are usually reserved for businesses or multimillion-dollar dwellings. But rising energy costs and the threat of climate change urge to improve our metering infrastructure and develop tools to display residential energy use and help ordinary consumers trim their energy bills. Current in-home energy information systems working with smart metering generally vary from simple clip-on devices or rather experimental monitors on the one hand to relatively complex or expensive web based systems on the other hand.
