The app should provide real time nominal and ordinal rankings of those with the most significant gains along with how these top results were achieved - i.e., "how to" feedback. Thank you. Mark

While I think this proposal needs some more work on it's details, I do like the idea of an interconnected information source that acts a bit like a crowdsourced smart grid contest. Maybe when climate change becomes incredibly terrifying a mesh network tool could help the global community get a sense of where resources could be conserved. Work on this some more!!

Mesh Network protocols should be thought about now, so metadata is well designed and understood across lingual and standards/metric boundaries (e.g., metric vs. US)- One understanding - explicitly, and intrinsically.

Thanks for your proposal greenwithit! I do hope you'll continue to expand on this general idea! I would be interested to see how you differentiate this concept from products/apps/services currently on the market such as Nest, CrowdComfort or OPower (which all in some way or other foster climate change mitigation through energy reduction). Does the app you propose leverage their tools/compete with them/partner with them/etc? That said, I realize you could easily be taking your idea in a totally different direction and I could be making a leap to my conclusion, so please take it with a grain of salt. Additionally for this app, who would be the end user - homeowners, apartment renters, property managers, commercial tenants, etc? I look forward to learning more about your idea!
