Use appliance monitors to understand the energy use of individual appliances

Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, Thursday, 28 November 2024
10 Detective KS1, KS2, KS3

What you did

We went round to lots of different subjects to see how much energy the different classrooms and equipment used. IT suites used the most but DT, cooking and media also used a lot.
We used LCD Display energy monitors
We shared this information with the teachers to try and get them to turn off the machines more regularly

Activity description

Appliance monitors let you see the energy that a single appliance is using as well as adding up the energy that the appliance uses over a period of time. You can also use the appliance monitor to see how much it has cost to operate the appliance for a certain amount of time. Appliance monitors can be very useful to identify energy guzzling appliances to help support the case for appliance upgrades. Try adding appliance monitors to fridges, freezers, IT equipment, hot drink boilers, and kettles to compare their energy use.
