BOCA RATON, FL--OpenPeak Inc., a provider of touch screen multimedia devices and VoIP telephony systems, has announced the debut of its new Home Energy Management Solution that allows utility companies and their customers to more actively manage in-home energy consumption to save money and help preserve the environment.
The OpenPeak Home Energy Management Solution displays real-time energy usage and pricing in a graphic-rich centralized user interface that sits right on the kitchen counter, or anywhere else in the home, for easy access and monitoring. The interface allows users to make adjustments to household thermostats to optimize energy efficiency and take advantage of off-peak pricing opportunities.
The Home Energy Management Solution also enables utilities to better manage and communicate residential demand response programs to help conserve energy when demand is at its peak. For example, consumers who have signed up for a utility's demand response program can reduce their nonessential usage by cutting back on lighting and cooling in underused parts of their home when the electrical grid is near capacity - such as when too many air conditioners start laboring on a hot summer's day.
Based upon the OpenPeak multimedia touch screen platform, the OpenPeak Home Energy Management Solution is designed for deployment by public utility companies to their customers. Through this interactive link right in the home, utility providers can create effective partnerships with their customers to help them better manage energy consumption, save money and the environment, and ultimately, add value to the relationship.
The Home Energy Management Solution is an extension of OpenPeak's flagship OpenFrame system, the first multimedia IP phone designed to function as a voice, data and rich media information device for the home. The products combine user-friendly touch-screen interfaces with the accessibility of rich media content into an all-in-one information command center.
