Amsterdam rolls out Onzo Smart Energy displays

Onzo’s Smart Energy Kit has been chosen as the only energy display to be rolled out to households in Amsterdam, as part of a pioneering project to make people more aware of their energy use.

Under the Sustainable Neighbourhood project, 500 homes in the northwest district of the Dutch capital have been equipped with Echelon’s smart meters. Of these, 50 have also been given Onzo’s Smart Energy Kit as part of a six-month trial to find out how much energy homeowners can save when given easy-to-understand information about their electricity consumption.

Students of the University of Amsterdam are working with the main energy utility involved, Liander, throughout the trial to test the effectiveness of smart meters and the Smart Energy Kit in reducing energy usage.
