Discover how Brick Brewery turned electricity monitoring into a competitive advantage using Eyedro. This testimonial video is an example of an industrial project in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario where Brick Brewery used the Eyedro Real-Time Electricity Monitor to help verify the success of their energy saving project. Brick Brewery keeps an eye on energy savings with Eyedro and the project results are impressive.
If you have an energy saving project and would like to use Eyedro for measurement and verification then please contact us direct or an Eyedro reseller near you.

The Challenge was organized by MaRS Discovery District and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Energy, and encourages developers to help Ontarians unlock the potential of Green Button-enabled electricity data. Green Button is a standard which offers a secure way for consumers to view their smart meter’s electricity data.
The myFreeMonitor.com electricity monitoring cloud service provides home owners and building managers with real-time energy usage and costs via an Eyedro or BlueLine electricity monitor. With support for Ontario Green Button Connect My Data, myFreeMonitor.com will allow home owners to see what all the hype is about… at no cost. It only takes a few minutes to setup, and you’ll immediately begin understanding the mystery behind your electricity bill. Most users find their first energy and cost savings within days. Watch for the completion of the challenge when we’ll be permitted to release green button support to myFreeMonitor.com.

We’ll be at the Distributech 2014 event on January 28-30, 2014. It is being held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas so if you’re in the area then please visit us at booth #327 to see our real-time electricity monitor solution and a live demo of the myFreeMonitor.com cloud service. We’ll be sharing a booth with a few other Ontario based companies that you’ll want to see as well.
The Eyedro team is pleased to be joining the Ontario Green Button pilot with its MyEyedro cloud service (MyEyedro.com). Home and business owners in areas covered by London Hydro and Hydro One will have access to their electricity usage and costs through pilot apps designed to use Green Button data. Green Button data (from smart meters) is a significant step forward for Ontario, as consumers look for tools to better understand and control their electricity costs.

MaRS announces pilot program offering new energy management apps to Ontario consumers
TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2013 /CNW/ – Ontarians will get access to new apps to help manage their energy consumption data, thanks to a pilot program led by MaRS Discovery District, in partnership with Hydro One and London Hydro and supported by the Ministry of Energy.
Apps from Energent, BuiltSpace, Eyedro and Zerofootprint will be made available to consumers in London Hydro and Hydro One’s service territories throughout the duration of the year-long pilot program.
MaRS Data Catalyst, which brings together data and analysis to help grow Ontario’s innovation economy, and Ontario’s Ministry of Energy are working with industry partners to enable electricity consumption data access through the adoption of the Green Button Standard, already popular in the US.
Green Button aims to give Ontarians direct, timely access to their own energy data through a secure download from their utility’s website. The 4.7 million smart meters installed in homes and small businesses across the province enable consumers to access their own consumption data via the use of third-party apps.
As part of the Green Button initiative, MaRS Data Catalyst is piloting the first adoption of the Connect My Data program. Connect My Data is a voluntary initiative that will enable participating consumers to securely share their electricity consumption information with Green Button-enabled apps of their choice, which will offer consumer education and create opportunities for conservation through behaviour change, energy efficiency upgrades, energy management system automation and other potential uses.
The apps participating in the Green Button pilot program are:
Energent, a leading North American provider of model-based energy informatics and optimization for commercial, industrial and institutional applications.
BuiltSpace, a simple, secure, practical, collaborative and integrated software-as-a-service (SaaS) app for operating, maintaining and improving building portfolios.
Zerofootprint, which allows consumers to: compare their electricity consumption with that of their neighbours; understand how to reduce it; and distributes ZerofootprintRewards to those who make measurable reductions.
Eyedro Green Solutions Inc., manufacturer of the Eyedro real-time electricity monitor and MyEyedro.com cloud service, which helps users visualize electricity usage, identify waste and cut electricity costs.
Green Button Download My Data, the precursor to Connect my Data, has already been implemented across nearly 60 per cent of Ontario with participation from seven utilities. To find out more about how to participate in the Connect My Data pilot, visit: www.greenbuttondata.ca/pilots .
