Our lecture with the founder of the newly established company Energy Aware in Comm 486G got me thinking. We were to analyze the company and asked to look for improvements. Energy Aware provides the “Power Tab” which measures the usage of electricity in your home and tells you how much it is costing you. Myself and a friend discussed and came up with an expansion plan for the company.
We feel that the company should approach energy efficient manufacturers of appliances in homes with a proposition. Energy aware gets to use the “Power Tab” to measure the efficiency (measured in dollars per hour) of each individual appliance to give customers more knowledge on how much each product will cost to run in their home. In return Energy Aware would provide advertising of the most efficient products on their website.

Many customers wish they had more knowledge on specific costs in their lives and Energy Aware does provide that now but could take it one step further. We also feel that they should approach large companies with information on the cost the most efficient appliances and the amount of savings the company would have from using these appliances.
