Microsoft Web site aims to make your house a Hohm
SEATTLE — Microsoft Corp. is slowly beefing up a Web site aimed at helping people monitor their home energy use and pinpoint ways to cut costs.
The site, called Microsoft Hohm, launched last summer. People can enter details about their home, such as when it was built and what kind of heating system it has.
Starting Wednesday, Microsoft is adding real estate data to its calculations and assigning a Hohm score to most houses in the U.S., so people can compare their own home to their neighbors’ or scout one they’re thinking of buying. The scale goes from one (think of running the heat full blast with the windows open, for starters) to 100 (the equivalent of energy-efficient sainthood ).
