N2 - This paper presents the design and implementation of a high-resolution automated metering system for a residential natural gas meter. This new high resolution sensing technique can non-intrusively monitor the gas consumption of individual appliances in a home by resolving small amounts of gas usage. It relies on utilizing an existing meter that will be retrofitted with a module that includes a high-resolution encoder to collect gas flow data and a microprocessor to analyze and identify ap-pliance load profiles. Additional benefits of the system include the ability to detect very small leaks and theft, efficiency analy-sis, and real time customer feedback of gas usage. The system has the potential for wide scale market adoption.
