With a management tool like this understanding how and where we consume our energy will allow us to better manage the amounts that we use and hopefully lead to lower consumption rates. As far as government funding towards this goes, I think it will take statistical data and beta tests to prove that there is an impact and a benefit for them to consider taking it on.Personally I think this is a great tool and a step in the green and lower consumption direction.

Need your insights and help on the next series of apps. We're not big enough for the Googles of the world. We are going to have to out-engineer them! TigerMan, time to finish your EE degree.

For example, if you start to draw too much power, the control system will pause non-critical functions and allow them to re-engage when the peak demand falls off. Heated floors come to mind, pools, and a host of other ideas. How about balancing energy consumption.
