Conservation Outlook
Emkro offers a 6 day forecast of conservation needs in your area. The look and feel of this is very similar to weather forecasts you are already familiar with. The details of this forecast show our prediction of what impact energy usage will have on the environment. You can then use this information to plan your consumption accordingly.

Advanced Planning Tools
Intuitive tools allow users to plan their daily tasks within the 6 day forecast. This allows an optimal solution for customizing one’s life for minimal environmental impact. Examples of this are scheduling laundry loads, lawn watering, dishwashers, thermostat settings, and periods of emergency energy consumption.

Real-time Conservation Metering
Updated 12 times an hour, 288 times a day, Emkro offers a real-time Conservation Meter. Simply put, this tells you how much pollution your electricity usage is producing. Tailored for your exact location, the 'conservation needs' meter displays the current conservation level, providing an accurate picture of your environmental status.

Email and Text Alerts
Want to know whats going on when you are away from your computer? We will tell you for free. Our email and text alerts allow users to set up alerts to notify them of periods of opportunity (low conservation need), warnings of extreme conservation need or anything in between. That way, even when you can't be logged in, you can still be aware of unforseen changes to the power grid. Then when you take action by turning off unused lights or turning your air condition up a degree or two, along with thousands of others getting alerts, your difference will become huge. Savings tons of CO2 is just minutes!

Custom Carbon Footprinting
Emkro offers a carbon footprint monitor which displays your expected CO2 and Oxide emissions for the month. This monitor uses your profile information in conjunction with the electric grid's conditions to offer the most accurate and up to date emission footprint monitor around.
