8.7. Further development of a building (and system) energy
management system by the Electronic Housekeeper
EHK has developed a new innovative platform to
substantially reduce energy consumption in homes
and
offices,
through
easy-to-use,
smart
management of appliances. The system is
applicable for all countries throughout Europe.
The objective was to develop end user interfaces
for energy management on the basis of the existing
Electronic Housekeeper platform with special
emphasis on the user activation.
The system will also integrate special control
features, which can be pre-programmed or
controlled via internet - that is for example:
switching on or off, reducing the temperature on
the
thermostats.
All
data
are
uploaded
automatically to a central server.
