Zerofootprint will provide demonstrations of its innovative TALKINGplug, an industry-first device that slips directly into a standard electrical outlet and enables two-way communication with the Internet to identify exactly how much electricity individual appliances use. Without the need for any rewiring, TALKINGplug works with standard appliances, and even allows users to remotely control the appliances. TALKINGplugs will be in place in the Lexus Hybrid Living Center to provide real-time energy usage information for the Eco Village during the conference.
“Zerofootprint is committed to helping individuals and organizations of all sizes get a clear sense of their carbon footprint and how their environmental impact compares to that of others,” said Dr. Ron Dembo, CEO and founder of Zerofootprint. “Taking part in the Lexus event at the TED Conference is an outstanding opportunity to share our vision for a connected world where TALKINGplugs provide relevant and tangible energy output information that can be compared with the usage data of others, and drive positive behavioral changes that significantly impact the environment.”
