Open Energy aims to develop a platform to explore new systems of visualization energy use and to optimize it accordingly, both in domestic and urban spaces. The system is built along two dimensions: first one, Energy Monitoring Device, which investigates open hardware devices in which monitoring power consumption, and a second dimension, Open Energy Visualization (Data Visualization / Real-Time Energy Behaviour Visualization), which explores new ways of real-time visualization power consumption in domestic environments.

These systems will allow us to amplify our knowledge about the dynamic behavior of energy anywhere. Open Energy is a prototype of energy infrastructure completely Open Source.

In view of the upcoming stage of evolution of Internet of Things, Open Energy considers the design of a visualization system which is inserted into a new energy distribution model, where invention of technologies will allow a decentralized redistribution of electricity production at a global scale, defining new frameworks of sustainable balance.
