EconomyGREEN Tag and App

We have now developed an app to help you decide when the best time to run your washing machine, dishwasher or tumble drier. The app is opened by tapping your phone on a small tag that you stick on your device.

The app takes into account the electiricty used by the appliance and the day's renewable energy forecast to calculate the best time the appliance should be run.

Using the delay function on your appliance, you can set the required program start at this time. This will help to reduce the amount of green house gasses emitted to generate its electricity.

We are just sorting out the finer details to make this product ready for sale. If you would like to be informed when this service is available please contact us at services@rensmart.com.

Making It Simple

Using NFC technology, we have devised a tag that you can stick on your washing machine, dishwasher or tumble drier. Simply configure your tag once with the make and model of your device, and your phone tells you when to start and what you will save when you tap it on the tag.

How Much Will I Save

In the UK we run almost 17 billion washing machine, dishwasher and tumble drier loads each year. The electricity used - 16 giga watt hours - generates 6.5 million tons of green house gasses and accounts for 25% of the greenhouse gasses produced generating domestic electricity. economyGREEN could help you reduce the green house gasses produced by washing appliances by 10% or 23 kg per year.which This may not sound much, but is same amount saved by recycling 500 tin cans.

How We Work It Out

The amount of green house gasses released into the atmosphere to generate our electricity changes throughout the day as the amount of renewable energy available changes. Each day, the National Grid publishes a forecast for the day giving the amount of renewable energy they expect to be generated. Using this, combined with your specific appliance information, we can suggest the best time when the highest proportion of electricity will come from renewable sources.
