The present invention is directed to a method of residential emissions trading and a residential emissions trading commodity. In particular, an embodiment of the present invention is a method for identifying, quantifying, and aggregating reductions in residential emissions into a tradable commodity. The step of quantifying the emissions reduction may further comprise the steps of measuring an energy savings resulting from the energy savings opportunity and calculating the emissions reduction resulting from the energy savings. The method may further comprise the steps of verifying the quantification of the emissions reduction and monitoring the residential energy savings opportunities and the quantification of the emissions reduction.

The present invention relates to diagnostics using auxiliary metering devices. Systems and methods for diagnosing a device, such as an appliance (702), using a secondary meter device (704) that measures electrical characteristics related to usage of the appliance within a HEM network (700) and provides such data to a residential energy controller (706) or the like. The auxiliary instrumentation device may include one or more sensors (724), such as current transformers, Rogowski coils, shunt resistors, or Hall effect sensors, etc., for collecting data related to active power consumption, reactive power consumption, line frequency, line voltage, etc. , power factor, lead / lag voltage-current comparison, and apparent power.

The invention discloses a single-phase residential energy meter missort checking method. The method adopts a zero line shunt method for checking, a wire or a cable is used for being sequentially in short circuit connection with a zero line row or a client load-side zero line, the wire carries out shunt on current of the zero lines, the current of the zero line at each part in the same loop after short circuit is reduced to be half the original, an air switch and an energy meter in actual connection relationship with the client are found out in the method, the air switch and the energy meter are compared with an air switch and an energy meter marked to belong to the client and compared with a marketing business application system archive, and missort exists in the case of inconsistency. Whether missor exists in the energy meter and the specific missort situations can be quickly checked only by using one wire and a common tong-type ammeter in the condition of not cutting power and not increasing load. The method is simple and practicable, few in devices, little in investment, and obvious in effects.

A method for measuring rural residential energy consumption by using electric heating equipment as an auxiliary heat source is disclosed. The method relates to the method for measuring the rural residential energy consumption. In the prior art, measurement of rural residential unit heating heat consumption can not be achieved. By using the method of the invention, the above problem can be solved. In the method of the invention, a building is considered as a whole; a heated kang, a hot wall and a matched stove in the rural residential houses are taken as baseload heat sources; the electric heating equipment is taken as the auxiliary heat source; under the condition of maintaining a same room temperature in each room of the rural residential houses, building energy consumption measurement can be performed. By using the method of the invention, measuring problems can be solved. The measuring problems comprise that: heat inertia of the rural residential houses is small; there are many kinds of fuels; room temperature fluctuation is large; there are many rooms but there are limited rooms to be used; rural residential house wires allow a small working current and the like. The novel method for measuring the rural residential energy consumption is provided. The method can be used for measuring the residential energy consumption of northern areas in our country.

The invention relates to the technical field of thermal energy storage, and discloses a device for collecting and storing the thermal energy in automobile exhaust. The device for collecting and storing the thermal energy in automobile exhaust comprises an outer barrel and an inner barrel arranged in the outer barrel. The outer barrel and the inner barrel are arranged coaxially. An end cover is arranged at the right end of the outer barrel. The right end of the inner barrel penetrates through the end cover and extends to form a gas inlet pipe. A gas outlet pipe is arranged in the center of the left end of the outer barrel. The space between the outer barrel and the inner barrel is filled with a plurality of thermal storage balls. The device for collecting and storing the thermal energy in automobile exhaust has the beneficial effects of being capable of collecting and storing the thermal energy in automobile exhaust for use as residential energy resources, and high in efficiency of heat absorption and heat release.
