我们提出了Emonix，一个分布式的，低成本的系统，用于监测和分析建筑物的能源消耗模式。Emonix采用我们定制的能量传感硬件和集成通信单元设计，可有效安装在建筑物的断路器面板中。与基于插件的监控系统相比，这种方法对用户的干扰较小，因为它不会侵入他们的物理空间，但它仍然提供空间和时间上的细粒度实时能源数据。Emonix硬件平台是开放的、模块化的和可扩展的。它为用户提供了可访问的数据和配置API，我们相信它对广泛的社区是有用的。为了证明这个平台的实用性，我们在两个校园宿舍部署了这个基础设施，覆盖60个房间和120名居民。我们已经为居民提供了四个多月的能源监测服务，以帮助他们了解他们在不同时间尺度上的消费模式。我们的研究结果表明，在不同的时间尺度上的能源消耗模式显着的时间变化，一小部分居住者可以消耗不成比例的大量能源，在这样的建筑物。
We present Emonix, a distributed, low-cost system for monitoring and analyzing energy consumption patterns in buildings. Emonix is designed with our custom energy sensing hardware and integrated communication units to be efficiently mounted in breaker panels of buildings. In contrast to plug-based monitoring systems, this approach is less intrusive to users because it does not intrude on their physical space, yet it still provides fine-grained real-time energy data in both space and time. The Emonix hardware platform is open, modular, and extensible. It provides an accessible data and configuration API for users, and we believe it is useful to the broad community. To demonstrate the usefulness of this platform, we have deployed this infrastructure on two campus dormitories covering 60 rooms and 120 residents. We have been operating this infrastructure as an energy monitoring service for the residents for more than four months to help them understand their consumption patterns at different timescales. Our results indicate significant temporal variations in energy consumption patterns at different time scales, and that a small fraction of occupants can consume a disproportionately large amount of energy in such buildings.
