Abstract

(Technical fields: energy conservation, energy consumption monitoring, energy metering and recording, building operations and building engineering, stationary or power engineering, HVAC
or heating, ventilation, air conditioning) CLASS : G 01 (PHYSICS, measuring) A device to depict and record moment by moment energy efficiency of a building or house independent of outdoor air temperature so that the building operator or homeowner can immediately see the effect of turning down thermostats, closing windows, caulking joints, shutting down air handling units, etc.

These devices will encourage energy conservation and reduce greenhouse gases on a large scale if they come into widespread use.
