Microsoft Hohm - Save Energy & Money
Yesterday Microsoft announced Microsoft Hohm, though the link is not working yet. You can sign-up for the beta and read more at https://mshohm.orcsweb.com/.
Hohm is the concatenation of H + OHM, the unit of measurement for electrical impedance.
Microsoft Hohm is a free web based application (running on the Windows Azure platform) that enables consumers to better understand their energy usage by utilizing advanced analytics licensed from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy to provide home owners with personalized energy-saving recommendations.
The beta is now available to all residents in the United States with plans to roll out internationally over the next year and beyond.

p.s. This is a great example of a Windows Azure application. I’m guessing this application will do a great job at sparking ideas around applications for Windows Azure.
