Given the energy waste problem in contemporary households and the consequent need for optimal energy use, this article presents a novel network architecture that is generically applicable on domestic appliances, such as white goods, and audiovisual and communication equipment, and is capable of performing real-time management of their energy consumption. Deploying the latest information and communication technology, the proposed architecture enables definition of energy saving applications that perform three main functions: real-time estimation of the energy consumption of the home environment, without exploiting smart metering devices; control of domestic appliances energy use so that energy consumption of the home environment is kept within user-defined limits; and autonomous identification and management of standby devices, targeting minimal energy consumption.
