- Ark Continuity’s new SQ17 server farm uses more than a third less energy than a typical data centre. If the number of servers is expected to increase globally from 13m in 2008 to 122m by 2020, this is going to become ever more relevant.
- 26-36% of energy use is behavioural – The New Scientist takes a look at how technology can persuade people to change their ways or why home energy monitors should look like cats
- The giants of IT (Cisco, Google et al.) weigh in on the energy monitoring world and water monitors – the next step? Something for HomeCamp 3 perhaps?
- This is an interesting analysis of Microsoft Hohm Vs Google PowerMeter. Google has already put in place easier usability but Microsoft display more of an interest in encouraging behaviour change.
- and finally @mikethebee has set up a HomeCamp news section on Google for up to the minute info on what’s happening in home energy monitoring. Thanks Mike!
