Energy Management Why waste energy when you do not need to? Everyone knows that electricity is cheaper at night, but how many of us take advantage of it? With an intelligent home, you will be able to cut your energy bills dramatically. There are a number of ways in which this can be done:
Air conditioning uses a lot of electricity, yet we often run it all day unnecessarily. Why not let your intelligent home control it so that it only comes on when natural ventilation is not chilling the house enough? If rooms are seldom used, there is little point in continually heating them. Why run heating full-blast in that spare bedroom so that it is far too hot? Instead, just a little heat at night will keep it warm all day. Load your dishwasher after the evening meal, but set it to come on later to take advantage of lower energy prices. Why run your heating all the time when you are away just so that it is warm on your return? Set it so that it stays at minimal level but heats up in time for your arrival home. These are just a few of the ways in which an intelligent home can help you save money and the environment. Shouldn't you have that sort of control? |
