Today we had a really exciting launch at Hohm today revealing a new site design and the ability to compare your home to 60 million others across the country.
Simply by entering an address, you’ll get a personalized page that’s filled with information on that home. This page includes the Hohm Score for that home, an estimate of how much that home could be saving annually on energy, a comparison chart that shows how this home’s energy use measures up to other homes in the area, and an energy-cost breakdown for the home. Want to see how your home compares to other homes? You can either use our drop down comparison tool that lets you compare to other homes in your zip, state, and nationally, or you can enter in another address to see how your home compares to that home. Want to see how much you could be saving every year on energy? We’ve got that for you as well.
You can fine-tune the accuracy of your Hohm Score and your personalized savings recommendations by creating a free Hohm account and entering some basic information about your home such as the type of appliances and systems you have. You can also update your home facts and enter your actual energy usage from your utility bills. This personal information will not be shared publicly unless you optionally and explicitly choose to do so.
We’ve also launched a widget that you can embed into your blog or share with other to check their Hohm score on your own site.

You have to do nothing special for IE6. Our code above can determine whether the request is coming from ie6 and if so auto redirect to www.microsoft-hohm.com/StaticWidget.aspx.
Be aware that your customers on IE6 will see a static widget page.
Note: if you don’t want the dynamic behavior they can always use www.microsoft-hohm.com/StaticWidget.aspx.
If you have any other questions et me know – Elliott
