Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of registering a plurality of devices with respect to at least one user, collecting energy-related data by the plurality of devices based on actions performed by the at least one user with the plurality of devices during a period of time, determining an action from among the actions performed with the plurality of devices that raises an energy consumption above a threshold based on the energy-related data, and modifying at least one device from among the plurality of devices to consume a lower amount of energy to offset the energy consumption above the threshold.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- registering a plurality of devices with respect to at least one user;
- collecting energy-related data by the plurality of devices based on actions performed by the at least one user with the plurality of devices during a period of time;
- determining an action from among the actions performed with the plurality of devices that raises an energy consumption above a threshold based on the energy-related data;
- and
- modifying at least one device from among the plurality of devices to consume a lower amount of energy to offset the energy consumption above the threshold,
- wherein an action taken in a first room of a location where a user is present is determined which raises the energy consumption above the threshold, wherein an energy consuming system in a second room of the location where the user is not present is modified to offset the energy consumption above the threshold.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory, wherein the at least one processor and the memory are communicably coupled, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- register a plurality of devices with respect to at least one user,
- collect energy-related data by the plurality of devices based on actions performed by the at least one user with the plurality of devices during a period of time,
- determine an action from among the actions performed with the plurality of devices that raises an energy consumption above a threshold based on the energy-related data, and
- modify at least one device from among the plurality of devices to consume a lower amount of energy to offset the energy consumption above the threshold,
- wherein an action taken in a first room of a location where a user is present is determined which raises the energy consumption above the threshold, wherein an energy consuming system in a second room of the location where the user is not present is modified to offset the energy consumption above the threshold.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- registering a plurality of devices with respect to at least one user;
- collecting energy-related data by the plurality of devices based on actions performed by the at least one user with the plurality of devices during a period of time;
- determining an action from among the actions performed with the plurality of devices that raises an energy consumption above a threshold based on the energy-related data;
- and
- modifying at least one device from among the plurality of devices to consume a lower amount of energy to offset the energy consumption above the threshold,
- wherein an action taken in a first room of a location where a user is present is determined which raises the energy consumption above the threshold, wherein an energy consuming system in a second room of the location where the user is not present is modified to offset the energy consumption above the threshold.
