Kudos to Microsoft for launching a new free personal energy management service-Microsoft Hohm.

The new app (still in beta) allows you create a customized energy report based on your home profile, geographic benchmarks, types of appliances you use and more. This is an interesting and potentially useful service; it’s great to see Microsoft providing these web services free to users.

The data entry process is daunting! I was surprised at how little I knew about the heating and energy attributes of my condo…but perhaps that’s one of the points of this new service.
