The system has a home control unit (100) for capturing and storing energy consumption of energy consumers in a database (113a), where each energy consumer is connected to the home control unit. The home control unit acquires the operating state and/or information on the energy consumption of the consumers, calculates energy consumption data based on the information, and stores the calculated energy consumption of the consumers in the database, where contents of the database are accessible over a network. The energy consumers are connected to the home control unit over a field bus and/or a network such as Ethernet, WLAN, Bluetooth or KNX. System zur Ermittlung des Energieverbrauchs von Verbrauchern, die an ein Stromnetz eines Haushalts oder Hauses angeschlossenen sind, umfassend eine Haussteuereinheit (100), die für jeden Verbraucher (103) den Energieverbrauch erfasst und in einer Datenbank speichert, wobei die Verbraucher (103) mit der Haussteuereinheit (103) verbunden sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Haussteuereinheit eingerichtet ist, um den Betriebszustand und/oder Informationen über den Energieverbrauch von den Verbrauchern zu erlangen, um basierend auf diesen Informationen den Energieverbrauch zu berechnen, und in der Datenbank abzulegen, wobei Inhalte dieser Datenbank über ein Netzwerk abrufbar ist.
