Title: CoNNECT: Citizen Engagement for Energy Efficient Comunities

Software ·
OSTI ID:1231617

The CoNNECT system is a home energy management software system developed to provide the public and electric utilities access to timely, useful, and actionable information about energy usage (that is, usage data for electricity, water, gas, and others). CoNNECT for the public provides the utility customers access to historical usage data; permits visual correlation between weather and consumption patterns; compares customers’ consumption data to that of their peers (customers living in houses of similar size, age, and household size); and provides information for actions using generic appliance data. Utility customers can customize their information for action by contributing data about their appliances. CoNNECT for the utility provides electric utility analysts access to additional data, such as building envelope data, which they naturally do not have access to; permits easy decision making through the generation of usage “heat-maps” for global comparison and assessment; and permits the clustering of customers based on user-defined criteria.
