Nokia Home Control Center reduces carbon footprint via Z-Wave ecosystem

This New Year, make a resolution to reduce your carbon footprint by switching over to a more eco-friendly lifestyle. And by saying this, I don’t mean that one needs to retire to the mountains and lead a saint’s life. These days it isn’t a tough call as we can obtain assistance via high-tech technology that promise to lure users to develop clean green habits. The latest buzz is about the Z-Wave-enabled Nokia Home Control Center. With just a simple smart phone kind of device, Z-Wave ecosystem can help the user to control and reduce his/her consumption of electricity, gas, water as well as carbon dioxide emissions.

Simply control your den from the palm of a hand via a Nokia handheld device. The Z-Wave ecosystem will allow the user to keep a tab on their electricity usage and also help to switch devices on/off. Also users can keep an eye on other home systems and devices such as temperature controls, security cameras, and motion detectors to reduce unwarranted energy consumption.
Scheduled to hit the shelves in the last quarter of 2009, till then we can do out bit by consciously curbing our non-eco-friendly standard of living. Like walk over short distances instead of diving and opting for alternative energies like solar or wind powered for a start.
