Home energy saving adviser system

Housing in the EU contributes approximately with 25% regarding all C02 emissions; therefore, it is imperative that we find robust methodologies to reduce it. This paper intents to be a contribution to valuable savings in root energy consumption without unduly compromising comfort and convenience. The developed prototype is a Plug and Play Instrumentation Kit, as part of a HOMe energy advisER system (HOMER). This system acts as a packaged Energy Assessment Instrumentation "kit" to be made available to homeowners, landlords and tenants in order to help them reducing their energy bill through real accounts of energy usage and links with lifestyle patterns. This is essential for countries to meet the national, European and world targets for energy reduction (and renewable sources). The all system is wireless based so that it can be easily installed and uninstalled in every home.
