A few weeks ago in “World of Greecraft?” Eliza Berry reported on a new computer program being developed to harness the potential of “smart meters” to motivate people to lower their energ consumption. On Carleton’s campus we are looking forward to the installation of these smart meters in our two new residence halls and investigating their installation in buildings across campus. In the following article Nora Mahlberg gives another update on the potential of smart meter data and the power of competition for lowering people’s electric consumption. If there is a trend here it is that these smart meters are one of the biggest new things in massive-scale energy consumption on our campus and in our society.
