Hohm is Live!
Microsoft’s residential energy management software, Hohm, went live at 9am this morning. My utility isn’t a Hohm partner, so I’ll need to input my own energy data, but the software is surprisingly accurate - it came pretty close to guessing my annual energy spend just based on the questions about my home.
Overall, Hohm is detailed! The application asks not only about square footage but also about the R-rating of insulation, square footage of windows (and type), direction your home faces, types of appliances, etc. I’ve answered a plethora of questions and am still only about halfway done.
Hohm offers typical suggestions on how to save energy, but they come with a good amount of detail as well, such as the estimated cost of a DIY or professional installation, and the amount of $ and carbon you’d save annually if you made the change.
While I just started using Hohm, so far, I’m pretty impressed.
