Energy Monitoring

I have joined the Macauley Land Use Research Institute's North East Scotland Energy Monitoring Project.  They have provided one of those nifty little devices that display current energy use and the kit to link this to the internet so that a continuous track of our electricity use and house temperature is displayed.

Part of the intent of the research is to see how energy feedback measures help households monitor and manage their energy.  I am sure the effect will wear off, but we have already learnt just how much energy different devices around the house use.  And Gordon has started to fill the kettle only half way and switch off lights.  

Meanwhile we will keep on visiting the on-line trace, slightly fascinated by the data.

  1. in our future intelectual endevers,must we venture as we have;weigh hevily on the capitilization&short term gain,for a few,or utilize our technologys with farsight& benevalence(true integrity),we have the tools for the revision of social structure.let the old dreams die,and the fresh minds flurish with the wisdom of the ages.The brainy wizards that are casting spells are fooling themselves most of all,making in darkness its own measure,and casting away there place amongst the stars.

I am happy to address most contributions if they are coherent. But I am bored with negative comments from one individual and have no intention of boring others. So just stop it.

Comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted.

Please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person.

The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
