In this film Jon Plowman, the former head of BBC Comedy, explains how real-time energy saving displays work and, in his own unique way, covers some of the pros and cons of the different designs of device that are available in the UK.

Real-time displays wirelessly collect information on how much electricity homes are using and how much this is costing.

It has been found that homes which know how much they are spending are able to cut their electricity use by 10% – 20%.

Depending on the size of house, a 10% saving on electricity bills equates to at least £60 – £90 per year, whilst a 20% saving equates to £120 – £180 per year.

This film was made for E-Day 2009 which will be taking place on the Isles of Scilly on Tuesday October 6th 2009.

This video demonstrates the construction of a Home Theater Computer. It was built by myself and other members of Cornell University’s Solar Decathlon Engineering Controls Team.

The computer utilizes a Core 2 Duo Processor at 3.0 GHz, a 128GB Solid-State Hard Drive, and a GeForce 9300 GPU included in its Nvidia 730i chipset. It will be served media content from a home server.

This computer was built with the following design goals in mind:
EFFICIENT POWER USAGE: Accomplished by using a low wattage CPU, A Solid State Hard Drive, an 80+ Certified PSU, and a motherboard with energy saving features.
EXTREMELY QUIET: Utilizes a Solid State Drive to eliminate hard drive vibrations, 2 silent 120mm fans, and an efficient case structure.
HD EXPERIENCE: Integrated GPU provides HDMI HDCP-enabled video output at full HD resolution, while reducing heat and power consumption because of the lack of video card, Gigibit Ethernet enables streaming of content from the house’s multimedia home server, 3GHz CPU provides ample headroom for video decoding.

This HTPC will be used in Cornell University’s Solar Decathlon competition in October 2009. Learn more about the team at http://www.cusd.cornell.edu
