EnergyConsumption.org discusses watt meters and other energy-saving products. This wiki contains everything Soren hasn't yet been able to add to EnergyConsumption proper (that is to say, almost all of it. It is also, as the "users' wiki," a place for EnergyConsumption users to ask and answer questions, contribute ideas, and storm up fun and creative ways of getting at least as much out of life while using less energy.
This wiki is also the place to contribute your consumption data until EC proper has a database. If you have any related projects, shopping, or questions / observations, we'd love to have you contribute to the wiki. Your ideas will mix with others', making energy pondering a lot more fun.
EC Content (to migrate?)
Big Picture: energy consumption information
Products: lowest-power product recommendations
- Lighting
- energyconsumption.org discusses other power-saving devices
Database of watt meter data for various devices
- step-by-step specific suggestions (that pick up where other sites have left off?)
Links (to existing resources / articles putting the data in context)
someday
- focus/purpose is helping the curious answers their questions?
- templates for collecting data (PDF and spreadsheet)
Questions (pose imponderables or tap the group's expertise)
- What kind of heater should we use in the bedroom?
- How should I cool the electronics in my attic?
- What's Caltrain's gas mileage?
- What's the spot price of electricity during various peak times, during the 2001 manipulation/crisis, etc? i.e. when does PG&E start making money by paying you top tier rates for the kWs coming off your PV Panels?
- At what point do we reach saturation on "the basics"? i.e. should I keep blogging about the same basic stuff (new better lightbulb, home energy tips) or are the national tv ads "enough'? and energy should be focused on some of the longer term answering of imponderables (questions that require research etc.) and/or working on in person work (a la acterra mention below)
