Abstract:

Energy consumption patterns in a connected world have changed our household energy foot print. The choices available to buy energy, and the introduction of digital technology affects the way we consume energy. This presentation will look at the driving forces of our changing energy requirements. Consumers have the option in deregulated markets to disconnect themselves from the grid, and generate their own energy. Many products make claims of energy efficiency that are simply misleading, and technologies such as wireless charging have fine print disclosures to justify their claims of energy efficiency. Legacy systems are impeding the integration of new technologies, due to the high cost of change. Environmental consideration take a backseat for convenience, and consumer technology engineers must find ways to design energy efficient products that are safe, light and ergonomic. This is a formidable task.
