Our Green Home keeping energy costs down

With the cost of energy going up each year, Australian residents have been wracking their brains trying to come up with a solution to keep their energy consumption down in a bid to save money.

As much as 10%-20% of the energy used in a home can be wasted, which can lead to high energy bills. Fortunately, a new group has emerged with the intent on helping Australian families with their growing bills.

With the development of new technology has come the group Our Green Home who have been working actively since 2010 to develop a device that allows households to monitor their energy usage in an efficient manner.

In a unique online platform, houses in metropolitan Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra can install a energy monitoring device on their home switchboard that runs through the houses broadband WiFi signal.

Once set up, the device will send real time data back to the Our Green Home cloud storage engine and relay it to the homeowners so that they can see what parts of their home are using the most energy.

This device can be fitted to any home, apartment block or building space that has a home broadband WiFi set up in place. Specialists fit the device to the fuse box so that users aren’t required to do it themselves.

Homeowners can check their power usage at anytime without a time delay which allows them to quick find the source of the wasted energy and eliminate the problem.

An unusual feature of the device is that users can share their findings with their friends which in turn can lead to action groups forming with friends or family that focus on finding sustainable ways to conserve their energy usage.

Our Green Home was developed by Object Consulting, an Australian leader in the creation of high quality and advanced enterprise business solutions.
