Home Electricity Monitor

by Occasional Visitor on 05-06-2011 09:28 AM

I did not come up with this idea; however, I felt it was worth sharing. My son brought home a Home Electricity Monitor that monitored our usage of electricity. He had a data sheet where he recorded our daily usage. He was required to make notations of which appliances were on when the usage would spike or drop. It was a real eye-opener for our entire family. We all became engaged in walking around the house turning things off to see the number drop.

 

I think this is one project that sucked our entire family in and one that we will never forget participating in or the lessons we all learned from this activity.

 

Thanks to his AIG teacher, we are all much more aware and conscientious.
