Report on Engineer’s Home Energy Analysis Project
The Bangor Daily News has a report on a project for which Nathan Weise, a UMaine professor of electrical and computer engineering, and a team of students will collaborate with the Blue Hill-based company PowerWise to allow 50 households in the Blue Hill area to track their energy use in both real time and over time down to the level of individual appliances in some cases. The UMaine group will then analyze how electricity consumption trends change across the households during the year. Weise said the key is for people to see with their own eyes when and how their household electricity is consumed on a circuit-by-circuit basis.
