The book contains the data required to measure and manage energy
consumption in residential buildings. This book describes energy
information in detail so that any homeowner can measure energy use on
a continuing basis, make decisions regarding how to conserve energy,
implement improvements, then monitor the results of those
improvements. In the past, it has been difficult to collect
residential energy consumption data in real-time. This book helps
overcome that challenge by teaching readers how to use self-installed
data collection devices that monitor consumption of circuits or
appliances, along with freely available information to benchmark
against other homes in the area. It demonstrates how information
derived from many sources, such as the kWh listed on an electric bill,
can be combined into simple calculations that illuminate how well
conservation efforts are working from day to day, month to month, or
year to year. Homeowners have ultimate control over the decision
making process required to realize energy savings. This book
simplifies the tasks of collecting, calculating and reporting energy
information to the homeowner, putting the power to conserve energy in
the hands of the people who will ultimately benefit the most directly
from conservation efforts.
