Abstract: Due to extensive use of electric and electronic appliances, energy bills make a significant part of family budget spending. Reducing the cost requires lowering energy consumption of devices in use, which means not only turning unnecessary devices off but also more efficient operation of active appliances. In this talk we discuss new technologies that allow systems to monitor their users for energy saving. We already implemented some technologies in software and hardware and present the results of their experimental evaluation.
