Abstract
A method for energy management is described. In one embodiment, an aspect of a dwelling is monitored. The monitored aspect of the dwelling is compared to an energy policy to determine a deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from a setting of the energy policy. A notification is sent to an occupant, the notification comprising the deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from the setting of the energy policy.
Claims20
A method for energy management, the method comprising:
- monitoring an aspect of a dwelling;
- comparing the monitored aspect of the dwelling to an energy policy to determine a deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from a setting of the energy policy;
- sending a notification to an occupant, the notification comprising the deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from the setting of the energy policy;
- and
- allowing the occupant to automatically post the monitored aspect of the dwelling according to the setting of the energy policy, wherein the monitored aspect is shared with occupants of other dwellings.
A computing device configured for energy management, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein the memory stores computer executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the steps of:
- monitoring an aspect of a dwelling;
- comparing the monitored aspect of the dwelling to an energy policy to determine a deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from a setting of the energy policy;
- sending a notification to an occupant, the notification comprising the deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from the setting of the energy policy;
- and
- allowing the occupant to automatically post the monitored aspect of the dwelling according to the setting of the energy policy, wherein the monitored aspect is shared with occupants of other dwellings.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the steps of:
- monitoring an aspect of a dwelling;
- comparing the monitored aspect of the dwelling to an energy policy to determine a deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from a setting of the energy policy;
- sending a notification to an occupant, the notification comprising the deviation of the monitored aspect of the dwelling from the setting of the energy policy;
- and
- allowing the occupant to automatically post the monitored aspect of the dwelling according to the setting of the energy policy, wherein the monitored aspect is shared with occupants of other dwellings.
