A superbrain to control your energy consumption

Abstract

DESPITE the wide publicity given to rising energy costs, it is still not fully appreciated that small variations in the heating of a building can have a significant impact on the final fuel bill. For instance, maintaining a building's temperature just 1°C above the required level means a 10% increase in the heating costs, while a 20 minute error in heating start time adds on a further 4%.
