Here you learn how much electricity your household consumes when no one is cooking, ironing, washing or watching television. You also learn how much of that you can save, and how to discover the hidden energy wasters in your household. Just take 3 electricity meter readings over 24 hours - late night, early morning and late night - and enter them into this online StandbyCheck. First, print this PDF form to collect the 3 meter readings, then enter them into this online advisor and have it calculate your "standby electricity consumption", comprised of base-line consumption by appliances working around the clock (fridge, circulator pumps etc.) plus standby consumption (TV, stereo, DSL router etc.).
If you do not have access to your electricity meter, you should ask your building administration to change that.

Here you will find out if there are hidden energy guzzler in your company which cause a high standby energy load. To perform a standby-energy check, you only need to take three meter readings. The first one has to be taken in the evening (by the last person in the office before s/he leaves the office), the second one by the first person that comes into the office on the next day (before s/he switches on electrical appliances), and the last one in the evening (again by the last person before they leaves the office). This adviser will show you after these three steps, the relation of standby-energy in your office and normal energy use during the day.
