Larkspur, CA- Advanced Telemetry, LLC, a company committed to empowering resource conservation, has recently introduced EcoView, a proprietary, real-time energy and resource monitoring and control system for the residential customer.  With the touch of a button or the click of a mouse, users can see up-to-the-minute reports on their energy and water consumption and take action to cut their carbon footprint and reduce costly utility bills.

Controlled through a simple-to-install wireless touch panel or web interface, EcoView helps users understand and track how they are consuming resources in their home.   Emboldened with this information, the home owner can make behavioral changes that will collectively result in the preservation of limited resources and reduced costs.

Through EcoView, users can view real-time energy and water consumption, follow trends, track changes, identify key culprits of energy drain, set consumption goals, and directly control how resources in their home are being used.  EcoView also provides reports on the comparable environmental benefits of using the system.  For example, users can see how their energy conservation relates to their consumption footprint and how their conservation actions equals the number of trees they have saved or the amount of  CO2 emissions they have reduced, as well as their actual savings in dollars.

With EcoView, users can remotely adjust the thermostat, turn lighting on or off, and monitor virtually any other energy-consuming device with additional sensors.  A homeowner, for example, could employ EcoView to adjust their thermostat setting from work, via the Internet, when weather conditions change.  Whether raising the temperature in the winter just ahead of returning home from the office, or moderating air conditioning in the summer on days that don’t turn out as hot as forecasted, the system provides homeowners with a means of enjoying comfortable climate control.

Central to Advanced Telemetry’s mission is an innovative technology that provides convenient and actionable resource consumption information to enable realistic eco-conscious change that anyone can implement.  “There clearly is a need to better understand how we use and unintentionally waste resources in our homes.  That’s why we set out to design technology that could simply, powerfully, and cost-effectively demonstrate, in real-time, how resources are consumed.  We give homeowners the ability to control their consumption while it’s happening,” said Gus Ezcurra, CEO of Advanced Telemetry.  “We are all well aware of the environmental impacts and costs of an increasingly power-hungry lifestyle.  EcoView offers an easy way to do something about it.  With EcoView, knowledge isn’t only power, it can also help reduce consumption of it.”
