The Qbox is a Local Energy Network (LEN) Interface. It is at the heart of a building's infrastructure and it communicates with the surrounding buildings.
Sharing with neighbors: The Qurrent Qbox will handle this complicated task completely autonomously. It will measure all electricity production and consumption and will make it possible to share capacities with your neighborhood, or cluster. In that process it will take into account the energy rates, however varying they may be, government subsidies, your production and consumption profiles and personal preferences you might have. All without you having to look after it.
Its what technology was meant to be...completely transforms our life yet utterly, unnoticed. What happens to suburbia when we actually start sharing something...something as important as energy? Does this sustain our wasteful land use practices? Or will it ultimately promote greater community? More importantly, are we willing to share?
