Saving energy starts with energy awareness: the Van Putten-Gas Energy Observatory (VPGEO)
creates a dashboard for energy awareness to start saving energy in today's environment at home and
at work. It's designed to serve the needs of the consumer with unique features:
Real-time feedback:display of usage once per second over an encrypted wireless data-link to ensure privacy
Accurate: measurement of normal volume (molar content) by inherent temperature and pressure compensation
Safe: detection and data-logging of minute leak-flows down to 1/10th of a pilot flame
User-friendly: display of daily (today, yesterday) and monthly (this month, last month) usages, ideal for behavioral studies
Energy label: continuous energy audit based on correlation to local weather
Economical: immediate validation of energy-saving measures and home improvements.
Certified: for use in commerce conform Handbook 44 of NIST
