I just read a really interesting article about a greener thermostat developed by former Apple executive Tony Fadell. The thermostat displays a green leaf when you're conserving energy and can adjust the temperature in your home minimally in order to conserve energy. With the Nest a 1 degree change in energy can save up to 5% of the energy used! It also remembers your preferences in order to predict what you would want from your thermostat and adjusts to fit your preferences. It can even tell if when there are people in your home, in order to conserve energy while you're away!
I thought this was really cool, so thought I'd share! (:
