Here’s another energy saving idea sketch from the Climate Change Colloquium.

A thermostat or regulator that reads out:
1. Emissions related to heating & cooling (production of electricity = emissions).
2. Savings on heating/cooling bills based on the recommended optimum temperature.

This would be made possible through sensors placed in different rooms in your house that gather data in real time to project recommended heating or cooling levels.

Would this make you look at your thermostat more often? Especially if you were leaving the house for a longer period of time?

Check the sketch out at http://climatechangecolloquium.blogspot.com/2007/05/greenstat-is-concept-design-of-climate.html & please leave comments, suggestions or reactions so that this design may be improved.

Thanks
