With the global customer in mind, PICOwatt® is designed to be used anywhere in the world
and can be installed in commercial, residential or industrial facilities.
For example, electrical office equipment now makes up at least 25% of commercial energy
use. Hands down this is one of the fastest growing uses of electrical energy.
How much electrical energy is wasted at your office when employees go home
after work leaving all the electrical office equipment on? PICOwatt® empowers you to
monitor how much electricity these devices are using, at what time of day equipment is on,
and exactly what you are spending to power attached devices.
PICOwatt® also shows you what you are spending to power equipment, and most importantly, PICOwatt® enables you to control, and eliminate wasted energy use saving you money.
PICOwatt® helps you identify standby power. Standby power, also called vampire power,
phantom load, or leaking electricity, refers to the electric power consumed by electric or
electronic devices while they are switched off, enter
sleep mode, or are in
standby mode.
You believe the device is essentially off, and you might even hear the satisfying click of
an internal relay or switch when you turn off your electronic devices. In reality the unit
is still powered on, internally wasting electricity and running up your electric bill. By
continually monitoring your devices, PICOwatt® shows you how much energy is being wasted
when a unit is supposed to be switched off.
To eliminate standby power, PICOwatt® enables you to intelligently control the power
supplied to plugged-in appliances. By creating profiles to automatically turn off the
power when the attached equipment is not needed, standby power consumption is reduced
to zero.
Unlike other products you can buy for electrical energy monitoring, PICOwatt®
requires no additional support equipment such as one or more computers, radio dongles, and
additional gateways to build a system to monitor and control your electrical energy use -
additional equipment that adds cost, consumes additional electricity, and simply wastes
your money.
PICOwatt® is a fault tolerant, standalone, set and forget Smart Plug that is built
upon a sophisticated blend of hardware, software, and algorithms all developed by Tenrehte
Technologies to help you get control of your energy use and save you money on your
electrical utility bill.
