Abstract

Apparatus for monitoring and displaying energy consumption which comprises at least one communications channel, at least one group of remote stations each comprising a plurality of information channels and connected to a respective communication channel, and a central station connected to the communication channels and capable of addressing the information channels at the remote stations. The central station addresses an energy consumption sensor connected to an information channel at a remote station, and receives energy consumption data from the sensor, computes an actual energy consumption, and sends a signal representative of the computed energy consumption to a display device connected to an information channel of a remote station to display the same.
