The trouble with trying to save energy is that we don’t really know how much we actually use.  I mean, I get an energy bill every month, but what good is that information in real-time?

I suppose this is why devices like the EnergyHub were created.  This UMPC looking device puts the energy consuming information in the hands of the user.

The EnergyHub has a touchscreen that acts as a “dashboard” which allows the user to set monthly consumption targets, and some great info about their current energy consumption.  This information is also available by the user over the Internet. 

So, with all of these graphs and readouts on the EnergyHub, we really have no excuse for wasting energy.  Maybe someday households can have contests to see how saves more.  The company believes that this device will save individual homes up to 20 percent of their normal energy consumption. 

Unfortunately, we do not have any word about a release date or pricing.  Most of the information I have on EnergyHub comes from websites that appear under construction.
