BaseN Energy Awareness Technologies (BEAT)
BaseN Energy Awareness Technologies (BEAT) is a technology that increases energy awareness among consumers and drives large scale energy saving across societies. By making real-time energy consumption data available to each individual consumer, they become aware of their consumption and are encouraged to save energy. The BEAT solution can be rolled out to millions of households and make detailed energy consumption data available on a large scale. This provides the consumer with the opportunity to directly compare the energy efficiency of electrical devices at home and adjust their energy consumption behavior.

Famous quotes containing the words energy and/or awareness:
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
“AIDS occupies such a large part in our awareness because of what it has been taken to represent. It seems the very model of all the catastrophes privileged populations feel await them.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
