What Energy Are You Using Right Now?
KEEPING an eye on your energy use is vital if you want to save energy - seems rather obvious but in reality can be harder to do than say.
For instance how much energy are you using at this very moment?
If you are still on a traditional power meter apart from seeing how fast that wheel spins round and the numbers change you cannot tell how much energy you are using, not until you get your bill, which is either weeks or even months later.
As we get more smart meters things will improve, but still generally there is a delay in getting a reading as to what you are using - it isn’t in real-time.
At Enigin we have something far better than a smart meter - the Eniscope real-time energy monitor, which shows you what energy you are using now, and displaying graphically what savings are made as you switch an appliance off.
Flick the switch and the Eniscope display on your web browser will react, with dials or graphs reacting. Hence you can see what energy is being used, by what and how much.
Once armed with that information you can make decisions and change behaviour, right away as you have the energy use data as it happens - that’s smart.
