<b><i>Ambient Devices<br><br>
</i></b>Extending dynamic energy pricing down to the customer level is an
important facet of the world's management of energy. California utilities
alone plan to spend over $3.6b on programs in the next four years on such
demand management programs to increase conservation, reduce the next big
brownout, and delay the need for expensive infrastructure buildouts.
<br><br>
Ambient's network provides a realtime update of dynamic energy to the
customer level without the installation problems or "big
brother" issues of some other systems. The technology has been
piloted in southern California and shown that the impact of the program
at peak energy usage doubles.<br><br>
