Microsoft Hohm was an online web application by Microsoft that enabled consumers to analyze their energy usage and provided energy saving recommendations.
History[edit]
Announced on June 24, 2009, Microsoft Hohm was built on the Windows Azure cloud operating system.[1] Microsoft licensed the Home Energy Saver energy simulation program developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to drive Microsoft Hohm.[2] It was publicly released on July 6, 2009.
Home Energy Saver and Hohm received an R&D 100 Award in 2010.[3]
Fate of Hohm[edit]
The Hohm service was discontinued on May 31, 2012, due to a lack of consumer uptake.[4]
