DIY Energy Monitoring
A stick-on building electricity meter developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) has evolved into a portfolio of energy and home safety monitoring technologies. LBNL researcher Steven Lanzisera led development of an adhesive-mounted sensor to replace transformers and in-panel hardware used for building submetering. The resulting technology promised to … [Read more...] about DIY Energy Monitoring
