Reducing energy consumption would save money & reduce pollution

75% of electricity used [2] & 43% of CO2 [3] emitted into the

environment in the US is connected with buildings

5% reduction in peak demand could result in over $35 billion savings in the next 10 years by avoiding building new

power plants [1]

You could reduce commercial building energy consumption by ~10% by

providing the occupants with information on their energy usage [5]

If you provide consumers with real-time feedback on their energy use they will reduce their overall energy use up to

15% [4]

� Occupants control ~30% of building energy

� Enlist in energy efficiency / reduction

� Desktop or laptops measure energy use

– Report information to occupant

Information and Communication Technology canenable building occupants to make informed choices
