Looking to reduce your carbon
footprint? We all love energy-saving and
water-saving products that make a sustainable
lifestyle much easier - and energy saving devices
are a great way to save energy around the home.
So, if you're looking for some
inspiration on how to become a more energy efficient
citizen, below is a list of my favourite top 10
energy saving devices. Using these, you'll soon reap
the rewards of cheaper energy bills.
1 . Solar charger
This simple energy saving device
uses the energy from the sun to charge your
electrical gadgets such as IPods, Digital Cameras,
PDAs and usually any device that has a USB port.
Left in a sunny spot in the morning, the batteries
in the charger will be fully charged by early
afternoon ready to charge up your gadgets.
2. Electricity Monitor
An electricity usage monitor
shows you how much electricity you use, how much the
electricity costs, and how much carbon dioxide
emissions you are contributing to the environment.
You can use this information to reduce your
electricity consumption and save around 25% on your
electricity bill. Modern wireless versions are also
now available for even greater convenience.
3. Night Lights
Night lights are an energy
efficient way of keeping your kids happy at night
time. They can run 24 hours a day for 365 days a
year for under a dollar. Modern versions emit a cool
blue green electro-luminescent light, perfect for
night lighting in bedrooms, hallways and corridors.
I bet you didn't even know such an energy saving
device existed.
4. Energy saving light
bulbs
A fantastic energy saving device,
energy saving light bulbs are now cheaper than ever.
In most homes, lighting accounts for around 10-15
per cent of an electricity bill. Traditional light
bulbs waste a lot of their energy by turning it into
heat. Each energy saving bulb can save you $15 a
year. They also last, on average, up to 12 times
longer than ordinary light bulbs.
5. Water saving spout
Save up to 70% of your usual
water consumption with an automatic, touch-free auto
spout which simply attaches on to your existing tap.
The infrared sensors mean you just move your hands
under the spout to activate the water-flow, making
it a hygienic eco-friendly alternative to a
conventional tap.
6. Creative showerhead
These are shower heads with a
'twist'. Basically you can now buy water saving
shower heads which simply attach to your existing
fitting, conserving water and energy without
sacrificing pressure. These amazing showerheads can
make water savings of between 30 and 70%. The shower
head technology uses less water but the flow feels
the same as it accelerates, energises and oxygenates
the water.
7. Eco Kettle
It is estimated that, on average,
we boil twice the volume of water needed every time,
which means twice as much energy. An eco kettle
accurately measures the amount of water to be boiled
using an internal reservoir which holds a full
capacity of water ready for use, while the measuring
button allows the necessary quantity to be released
into a separate chamber for boiling. The result is
exactly the right amount of water every time.
Another great energy saving device.
8. Toilet Water Saver
These devices consist of a
plastic bag which sits in the toilet cistern
conserving about 3 litres of water each time a
toilet is flushed. When the toilet is flushed, the
water confined in the bag is saved. If you find the
bag impairs the flushing, you can usually cut off
one of the bottom corners of the bag to make more
space in the cistern. This saves approximately 33%
of water used in a toilet, and 10% of total water
used in a house.
9. Energy Saving Plug
This is a great energy saving
device. Plug your PC into the master socket and
extensions into the side plugs, and when your PC is
switched off or on 'standby' the power will
automatically be shut down to the extensions as
well. Average annual electrical savings including
the savings from speakers, and printer equal around
84KWh.
10. The Intelligent Mains
Plug Panel
This fantastic energy saving
device remembers to be eco-conscious even when you
forget. Specifically made for desktop computers, it
automatically switches power to connected
peripherals off, when the computer is on stand by or
has been turned off completely.
