One thing I know for sure, is that, if people are aware of how much energy they are wasting every day, they will change their behavior, at least a little. And it we can do it encouraging them to "think in green" the better.
This device, is a simple one, that is installed close to the main electrical box of the house. It controls how much energy is been used in lighting, heating, cooling, and power points. The device has one electrical input from each of this supplies.
Then the installer, will program the device for every house, depending on the size, typology, meteorological conditions, etc.
Everyday, this device, that will be easily visible for the occupants, will display a green light with the message "You have been green today", in case that the electrical energy used is under the limits entered. If not, it will display a red light with the message "You are polluting much today".
The device will also specify, where the energy has been wasted (lightning, heating, cooling or power points)
For example, if the device detects that at night, power points have been used more than normal, it could mean that any appliance hasn´t been disconnected from power supply.
Another variant, is to use a similar device as thermostats for cooling or heating systems. The device obviously detect inner housing temperature, and when it´s higher than really needed, it will alert the occupants about this fact. It all will be done with a friendly message such as "for a greener world, please wear a jumper and down the heating a little"
