DEHEMS Energy Monitoring Roll Out

By Martine Tommis

The DEHEMS installations are now well under way.  In the past two weeks over installations have been fast paced, with volunteers coming in daily.In Manchester, Greenlight Computers working round the clock to meet the deadline. The kit involves a clamp on to the live cable at the householders meter transmitting data to the data controller box which is connected to the users broadband router.  The householder can then then view their electricity usage online. The next phase is to install the individual plug meters (IAM’s) from Plugwise in a selected number of homes.
