GE’s Nucleus™ energy manager, in conjunction with a smart meter or whole home sensor, provides near-real-time home electricity consumption information. By providing this information, GE’s Nucleus™ is designed to help consumers identify ways to manage their electricity costs, and to reduce their electricity usage and associated CO2 emissions compared to households without such solutions. Additionally, industry studies show that when combined with variable rate electricity pricing and smart appliances such as Brillion™-enabled devices, an energy manager like GE’s Nucleus™ could help further reduce total household electricity use.

Environmental Benefits
Industry studies show that consumers provided with near-real-time feedback on their home electricity consumption could reduce their electricity usage by an average of 5% per year. At this rate of savings, if GE's Nucleus™ and a smart meter or whole home sensor were installed in 1 million households, over 325,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions could be avoided on the US electric grid each year, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 64,000 cars on US roads. Additionally, these studies show that when combined with variable rate electricity pricing and smart appliances such as Brillion™-enabled devices, an energy manager like GE's Nucleus™ could help reduce total household electricity use by up to 15% per year, further reducing CO2 emissions.
Operating Benefits
Industry studies show that consumers provided with near-real-time feedback on their home electricity consumption could reduce their electricity usage by an average of 5% per year. At this rate of savings, a typical household with GE's Nucleus™ and a smart meter or whole home sensor could save $55 in annual electricity costs, assuming an average residential electricity rate of $0.1065 per kWh. Additionally, these studies show that when combined with variable rate electricity pricing and smart appliances such as Brillion™-enabled devices, an energy manager like GE's Nucleus™ could help reduce total household electricity use by up to 15% per year, or up to $170 in annual electricity costs.
