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.

“Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence.

—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
