The Capitall is designed to limit the number of electrical appliances operating at any one time. It gives a maximum energy use; encouraging the user to be frugal through deciding which appliances they need on.
Once the cut off point is reached, the electricity is capped and no other appliance can be turned on. This forces the user to turn off something else first; thus reducing their energy consumption.
It is a simple plug-and-use product with indications of the amount of energy you are using, both for the individual appliance and as a whole. The devices work together using the same process as some computer networks; sending signals to each other through the electric wiring of the AC power supply.
The ‘capping’ point of the units is dependant on the number of devices connected. Each unit contributes 150 watts to the total allowance. This is based on the average energy costs of home appliances, calculated by Carbon Footprint.
The Capitall makes people prioritise what energy they really need.
