Where are you missing out on energy efficiency? Where can more energy
be saved with simple changes? What low cost changes will be a good
return on investment?
Test your efficiency knowledge and then work out a priority list to
save energy and money.

Dont need to do that, it leaves yours for dead, child.

Dont need to do that either, I've already done that, child.

I have performed a local survey of over 20 households. Most people can
save between $50 and $2000 per year on electricity if they know where
to focus their attention. Ask yourself the following questions.
Do you have building power measurement that can tell you real time
power consumption, daily totals, weekly totals, monthly totals. This
type of device can now be bought for $100.
Have you installed energy efficient lighting, water saving tap
fittings, insulated, double glazed windows or tinted them, reduced
standby power consumers, turned on computer power management and know
what each appliance's power consumption is? Power point measurement
can be bought for $25.
If you spend over about $500 per year in electricity then it is worth
your while to investigate energy efficiency. You will save money year
on year.

too much misinformatin in there for me, especially re lighting. Also
some of the common basic stuff is missing.

The links provided is a starting point for energy efficiency. Once you
know where the best categories to change then more specialized
calculators can be used.

If you are not sure about consumption then it can be measured.
