Motivation • Natural gas is the most widely consumed energy source in

American homes

• Most gas is used by automated systems like furnace and water heater

• Most consumers are unaware of their gas usage

• Providing energy usage feedback to consumers typically results in a 5-20% reduction in consumption

How It Works

Results • GasSense is a low-cost system to provide appliance-level,

single-point sensing of gas activity in the home

• Deployed in 9 homes, recording 496 gas events, 175 in isolation, and 321 compound events

• Accurately detects and identifies 95.1% of gas events

Gas Appliance in Home is Turned On

Microphone Senses Gas Hissing

Detects and Identifies Gas Events

Filters Background Noise Regulator Hisses When Gas Flows
