Find out about the Ewgeco electricity, gas, and water monitoring system
energy efficiency | carbon | shoppingEwgeco is a product which mixes the benefits of a wireless power meter (see
Efergy Elite,
Wattson,
Eco-Eye, and
Owl for examples) and a
smart meter. However, in addition to monitoring electricity usage, it also monitors
water and
gas consumption giving a full picture of resource usage in a building.
Ewgeco can be connected
wirelessly to existing analogue electricity meters as well as to the latest pulsed electricity, water, and gas meters. Soon a version of Ewgeco will be developed for the
smart meters which will be replacing meters in homes and business across the UK during the next 10 years.
At present
Ewgeco is only available for local authorities, business, and home builders etc, but a version to be retro-fitted to domestic homes will hopefully go on sale during 2009.
How Ewgeco Works
During the first seven days after installation, Ewgeco
learns the typical consumption patterns of the occupants of the building. This callibrates the
traffic light display which is used to present whether realtime usage is normal, moderate, or high.
Peak consumption of each utility during each day is displayed until midnight when it is reset ready for the next day. Up to
13 months of consumption data can be stored on Ewgeco, and that data can also be uploaded to the internet using the
My Ewgeco website where it can be displayed in tables or graphs for analysis.
One complication with Ewgeco is that it must be installed by a
qualified electrician - ideally by an Ewgeco nominated installer.
Ewgeco Story
The idea for
Ewgeco came from
Tany Ewing in 2006 which led to her being named
British Female Inventor of the Year 2008. The Ewgeco company now employs
40 Staff in Perth, Scotland and has obtained funding from 15 shareholders.
