Home energy management from PassivSystems ensures most efficient use of energy, cutting household bills by learning how people live and only using energy when it is needed.

A brand new British company that aims to dramatically improve home energy efficiency is launching at CES. Newbury-based PassivSystems will showcase its pioneering PassivEnergy home energy management system.

Set to be available from March 2010, PassivEnergy connects via sensors to your heating, hot water and electrical appliances, and monitors activity via an individual online account. By learning about your regular movements, the intelligent control system will then ensure that you make the most efficient use of energy possible, only using services such as hot water when you need them. 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’. Simply giving people more information about energy consumption is not a solution,’ explains Colin Calder, CEO, PassivSystems. ‘PassivEnergy sets a standard for a new way of living. By incorporating our technology into their existing home setup, consumers can dramatically reduce energy waste and cut their household bills at the same time, all with minimal effort on their part. In future, legislation will require consumers’ homes to be more energy efficient – PassivEnergy is an easy, inexpensive way for people to cut energy wastage and energy bills without huge changes to the way they live.’
