Eco Factor: Concept energy consumption detector gives you visual information of your energy consumption.
Designed by Carl Smith, these Wilting Flowers display household energy consumption in a way that will surely touch your heart if you are a plant lover. The flowers connect to your house via a wireless transmitter attached to the mains and monitor the electricity consumed in your house in real time.
Mimicking the effects of pollution and global warming on real plants, these flowers change color and shape according to the energy consumption. If you are already high on energy consciousness these flowers greet you by standing tall and bright, but if you are not of the first kind, then they show you a sad face by dripping down.
The Dark Side:
Though we have to appreciate the thought put in by the designer, we sincerely feel that a single flower would not get any importance in a busy household. If the designer is able to put in more effort by adding some energy reducing features like powering down all appliances that are not in use, then this gadget surely would be a boon for all Ecofriends.
