PassivSystems showcases its PassivEnergy home energy management system (18/1/2010)

A brand new British company that aims to dramatically improve home energy efficiency launched at CES Unveiled. PassivSystems will showcase its pioneering PassivEnergy home energy management system.

Set to be available from March 2010, PassivEnergy connects via sensors to heating, hot water and electrical appliances, and monitors activity via an individual online account. By learning about a home owner's regular movements, the intelligent control system will then ensure that they make the most efficient use of energy possible, only using services such as hot water when required. PassivEnergy automatically makes the most efficient use of energy throughout the home and doesn't make extra work for the user.

"Everyone wants lower energy costs but few people have enough time in the day to become their home's `energy manager'," explains Colin Calder, CEO, PassivSystems. "Simply giving people more information about energy consumption is not a solution. incorporating our technology into their existing home set-up, consumers can dramatically reduce energy waste and cut their household bills at the same time, all with minimal effort on their part."

PassivSystems' world-class solution to the global problem of home energy use won it a place at CES Unveiled, the pre-event media showcase at the world's largest technology event. It was chosen by UK Trade & Investment, the government body promoting British business in international markets.
