Residential Energy Management System Now Available
Ever wanted to know exactly how much electricity and water you were using in your home or office right now? With Advanced Telemetry’s new EcoView system, you can learn that and much more.
The EcoView system provides information on a home’s or small office’s energy and water consumption rates, trends, identifies energy drains, and tracks goals. The system is completely wireless and has a keypad display or can be viewed on a home computer. With the information provided by this system, home and small business owners can better track energy use and take measures to reduce it.

Environmental Impact
According to a press release from Advanced Telemetry, “EcoView also provides reports on the comparable environmental benefits of using the system. For example, users can see how their energy conservation relates to their consumption footprint and how their conservation actions equals the number of trees they have saved or the amount of CO2 emissions they have reduced, as well as their actual savings in dollars.” This allows users to see immediately the benefits of the energy reduction strategies they are employing.
Remote Access
The system also allows owners to access their home energy use remotely, through the Internet. For example, the thermostat can be adjusted due to changing weather conditions, or lights can be turned on or off from a remote location (additional sensors are needed). A homeowner could turn on their lights before leaving work, so they come home to a well-lit house!
“There clearly is a need to better understand how we use and unintentionally waste resources in our homes. That’s why we set out to design technology that could simply, powerfully, and cost-effectively demonstrate, in real-time, how resources are consumed. We give homeowners the ability to control their consumption while it’s happening,” said Gus Ezcurra, CEO of Advanced Telemetry. “We are all well aware of the environmental impacts and costs of an increasingly power-hungry lifestyle. EcoView offers an easy way to do something about it. With EcoView, knowledge isn’t only power, it can also help reduce consumption of it.”
