But how can we\u00a0 take control of\u00a0 it? The Swiss Cleantech startup Geroco has got a clever solution based on hardware and the social web, called <strong>GEROC PLUG&#038;PLAY<\/strong>. \u00ab\u00a0So people can better understand how they are consuming energy in their every-day life, especially at home\u00a0\u00bb, says one of the founders, Michael Dupertuis. This can save money and fossil fuels. The plug &#038; play solution provides a quick and easy over-view of the consumption of home devices like the TV-set or the coffee machine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The GEROCO<\/strong> plug is a set of terminals, which are\u00a0 plugged\u00a0 between\u00a0 household\u00a0 appliances and electric\u00a0 sockets. The adapters measure energy\u00a0 consumption\u00a0 and\u00a0 room\u00a0 temperature and\u00a0 transfer\u00a0 this\u00a0 to\u00a0 a USB\u00a0 device, which\u00a0 is connected\u00a0 to\u00a0 an\u00a0 in-house\u00a0 PC.\u00a0 Users\u00a0 can monitor\u00a0 the\u00a0 energy\u00a0 consumption\u00a0 and\u00a0 room temperature\u00a0 and\u00a0 then\u00a0 turn\u00a0 the\u00a0 electricity on or off. Also, the user experience can easily be\u00a0 shared on\u00a0 personal\u00a0 favorite\u00a0 social network\u00a0 platforms\u00a0 like\u00a0 Facebook or Twitter. Additionally,\u00a0 energy\u00a0 service\u00a0 providers will be able\u00a0to\u00a0 tailor their services to the saving potential\u00a0 in\u00a0 each\u00a0 house, based\u00a0 on\u00a0 the\u00a0 collected data.<\/p>\n<p>Plus d\u2019infos : lire l\u2019article du\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/intranet.theark.ch\/multimedia\/docs\/2010\/04\/Magazine_swisscleantech_22.04.10.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magazine Swisscleantech<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy consumption\u00a0 is\u00a0 in question.
