Users can now see how their average energy bill compares to others DALLAS, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Flair, an online competition to save energy at home, has added a new feature to show how energy efficient a household is relative to others. Users can see how their average electric and gas bills compare to the real-time averages of three groups of people: their Facebook friends who are also using Energy Flair, all Energy Flair users, and other households in their state. Usage and cost averages are calculated using data from participants who upload electronic copies of their electric and gas bills. The site only displays group averages, so others will never know how much a specific individual is using or spending. Users can, however, compete with individual Facebook friends for the most Energy Flair, digital badges that are earned for year-over-year reductions in energy usage.
