Nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM), nonintrusive appliance load monitoring (NIALM), [1] or energy disaggregation [2] is a process for analyzing changes in the voltage and current going into a house and deducing what appliances are used in the house as well as their individual energy consumption.
At a building the wires enter a conduit, a protective metal pipe, and the weatherhead is a waterproof cap on the end of the conduit that allows the wires to enter without letting in water. It is shaped like a hood , with the surface where the wires enter facing down at an angle of at least 45°, to shield it from precipitation.
the cost of installing a smart meter in the EU is on average between €200 and €250. [18] on average, smart meters provide savings of €160 for gas and €309 for electricity per metering point (distributed amongst consumers, suppliers, distribution system operators, etc.) as well as an average energy saving of 3%.

A submetering system typically includes a "master meter", which is owned by the utility supplying the water, electricity, or gas, with overall usage billed directly to the property owner. The property owner or manager then places their own private meters on individual tenant spaces to determine individual usage levels and bill each tenant for ...
With the growing adoption of AMI meters and systems, AMR has been in decline in the U.S. electric utility sector. [13] However, in the gas and water sectors, where it tends to be more expensive and complicated to replace meters, AMR remains prevalent, [14] and some utilities continue to invest in new AMR meter deployments. [15]
The three wires from the utility pole enter through a weatherhead (top) into a vertical conduit, which routes them to the electric meter (bottom). From there they pass through the wall of the house to the electric panel and Main Fuses or Circuit Breakers inside. In North America, the 120/240 V split phase system is used for residential service ...
The open metering system of the Open Metering System Group e.V. stands for a manufacturer- and media-independent standardization for Meter-Bus (M-Bus) based communication between utility meters (electricity, gas, water, thermal energy), submetering (cold/hot water, thermal energy, heat cost allocators), and systems in the field of smart meters.
For the construction of a new highway, the city of Christchurch, New Zealand used Itron to deploy acoustical sensors at the site so the city can create a baseline before the highway is opened. [ 14 ] The city of Copenhagen , which sees the heavy use of bicycles, has enlisted Itron's help to deploy traffic management capabilities with its smart ...
