20110204150 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING DEGRADATION IN CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE - The present invention relates to the detection of degradation in climate control system performance, in particular to the detection of degradation in heating system performance or air-conditioning system performance that is an indicator of impending heating system failure or air-conditioning system failure in domestic properties. In particular, the present invention provides a method for detecting degradation in the performance of a climate control system indicative of failure in the climate control system, comprising: receiving climate control data indicative of a climate control system in a property (location) being turned on and turned off; receiving an energy consumption signal indicative of the energy consumption of the property; correlating the received energy consumption signal with the received climate control data to determine an energy consumption signature of the climate control system when being turned on and turned off; comparing the determined energy consumption signature with previously obtained energy consumption signatures to detect differences in the determined signature that are indicative of degradation of climate control system performance indicative of impending climate control system failure. | 08-25-2011 |
20090312968 | POWER CONSUMPTION FEEDBACK SYSTEMS - An electrical power supply consumption feedback system including a current transducer configured to be attached externally to a mains power supply cable providing a mains power supply to said building to measure a current of said mains power supply, a voltage measurement system configured to measure within said building a voltage of said mains power supply, a system controller coupled to said voltage measurement system and to said current transducer and having a system controller wireless interface, at least one of said current transducer and said voltage measurement system having a complementary wireless interface and being coupled to said system controller via the wireless interface, and wherein said system controller is configured to calculate a power consumption of said building from said measured current and voltage; and a display coupled to said system controller to display a visual indication of said calculated power consumption. | 12-17-2009 |
