Tired of a soaring electricity bill? Concerned for nature, want to reduce global warming but are a victim of lousy habits, always forgetful about switching off the lights or fans when you leave a room? For all those who are perfect example of “old habits die hard” notion but are willing enough to adopt greener ways, California based Agilewaves has come up with a smart device- The Resource Monitor. The device is native integrated system which functions in real time to monitor the electricity, gas and water consumption of your house. With the real monitor, you can carry out your chores without being worried about a hefty bill at the end of the month as you can set specific monthly targets for consuming these three facilities. The device uses behaviorally-driven quantitative feedback by the users for effective monitory. It is fit for use inside homes and offices. Resource monitor displays the consumption details and carbon footprint of a household/office via a built-in touchscreen interface or a password protected web page.
As I already said, the system is a real time analyst so now you can get hourly details about the eco-footprints of your daily activities inside your home/office. This well-structured monitoring approach helps in tightening the noose over reckless consumptions and wasteful activities. The company says its latest resource monitor tracks the performance of major appliances and then, calculated the resource consumption room/floor wise. Features like Standard browser application, real time data display, intuitive graphic UI, temperature data in key locations, budget setting and trend analysis and visualize time-series data to name a few, make Resource Monitor the ultimate watchdog device. The appliance comes from a responsible software company and it looks after your social, environmental and financial performance in a well–organized and efficient manner. Well readers, I m thoroughly impressed and would certainly go for it! What about you?

You may find a hundred and one new lighting options, lamps and lampshades in markets today but I bet none would be as elegant, strikingly beautiful and innovative as this Penta pendant lamp. Designed by Luca Casarotto at Coscadesign studio Penta brings the best an Italian designer has to offer you! Its beauty lies in its unique design and its origin. It is designed to adapt light as per your requirements. An elegant chiaroscuro light texture can be obtained by keeping the lamp in a fully open configuration. The lamp comes laced with dynamic optic chiasm utilizing rotatory motion to deliver brilliant shades of light.
For modest settings and a simple evening dinner close it and Penta becomes a plain light source which can illuminate anything behind (tables, furniture pieces). The lamp comes with a number of joints and components which gives it a 3-D feel.
Now, comes the best part. This beauty originates from 100% recycled stuff (polyethylene flat components) and thus promises to be an A-grade eco-friendly product. Penta definitely is the thing to be placed inside your house!
