Abstract

In this paper we present a system called the Energy Lens -- a system that provides deeper, real-time visibility of plug-load energy consumption in buildings. Our initial work focuses on plug-load power metering, display, and real-time aggregation, presented to the user through a mobile phone. We discuss the three main, non-trivial challenges that must be addressed to provide real-time energy analytics in buildings through mobile phones and our initial approach towards addressing each challenge.
