How the PowerCost Monitor(TM) Works
Emphasis on conservation is prompting growing interest in real time energy feedback devices. Blue Line's PowerCost Monitor(TM) is a stand alone product that provides the homeowner with immediate feedback on their electrical consumption as that consumption occurs.
The PowerCost Monitor(TM) is comprised of two units. One unit, a sensor, attaches easily to the electricity meter simply by tightening one screw. The sensor accommodates approximately 90% of all meter types - old and new.
Once turned on, the sensor automatically collects data from the meter. It then sends that data to a small LCD monitor inside the home. There are no wires associated with either the sensor or the display unit and the data passes from the sensor to the display unit wirelessly.
The display unit shows the homeowner how much money is being spent on
Electricity from minute to minute and keeps a running total in dollars and cents.
The PowerCost Monitor(TM) also provides a 30 day go forward estimate both in dollars and kilowatt hours based on the current consumption at that moment and has an appliance feature to allow the family member to understand the cost associated with specific appliances or behavior changes.
Awards
In 2007, the PowerCost Monitor was awarded "Outstanding Energy Efficient Technology Deployment of the Year" by the US based Association for Energy Service Professionals (AESP). The Monitor was also a finalist in the Stars for Energy Efficiency - a program of The Alliance to Save Energy.
