In 1865, the English economist William Stanley Jevons observed, contrary to common intuition, that technological improvements in energy efficiency couldn’t be relied upon to reduce fuel consumption. Today this issue has proved to be still valid when it comes to energy efficiency and global energy demand continues to increase year after year despite improvements in efficient energy technologies.

While technology can bring improved energy efficiency, real and long-lasting energy usage reduction can only be achieved through behavioral change: we all need to change our habits to use less energy.

One effective way of helping change behaviour is the use of energy feedback as a tool for energy awareness. The principle is simple: you can’t save what you can’t see. Research studies and trials carried out in recent years have support this idea and conclude that real-time energy feedback mechanisms lead to reduction in energy use*.

Efergy counts on a young and dynamic Product Team composed of Social Scientists, both Industrial and IU Designers and Electronic Engineers. Our Product Team develops innovative products that meet the most demanding technical requirements yet at an affordable price. We also like forming partnerships with selected Technology Companies that can bring a USP.

Real-time energy use feedback has proven to be an effective tool for raising energy awareness and reducing domestic energy consumption.

Comprehensive studies of smart meter rollouts and trials show that those including real-time energy feedback mechanisms achieve substantially greater energy reductions.

Through making energy visible, we are committed to helping consumers save energy. Our technology helps to monitor and manage energy in real-time through In-Home, Web and Mobile Displays.
