Both the EU and UK have building energy consumption labeling schemes so this idea is not new, although the idea of a running calculator showing energy use and cost signs is not common. However, this proposal does not thoroughly communicate how this would implemented and mechanisms for public engagement around the displayed energy use.
As this has been done in a number of countries it would be good to factor in any anaylsis of how that has worked over time -- benefits, take up, cost savings to those who have used it vs cost to install and provide, etc. and to build on those learnings for a model that would incorporate improvements for the best possible outcomes. Installation costs could be an issue, particularly in lower income areas, so it would be good to explore the cost benefits for those charged with funding the system and the necessary technology. This is a good idea that could build on results to date to provide a best practise option for those considering taking up such a system.
