It was interesting to notice how the power usage increased by a couple of Kw when I used the washing machine and on the weekend it was higher as my daughter was watching TV in the morning. <BR/><BR/>It was a great exercise that I'm going to continue with :)Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636304236237630746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-38588415039083555262007-09-04T07:17:00.000+10:002007-09-04T07:17:00.000+10:00with only two of us in this house we used 7.9 KwH ...with only two of us in this house we used 7.9 KwH of electricity daily during the week of the challenge which I was very pleased with but for the whole month of August our daily average was 9.7 KwH.<BR/><BR/>During the week of the challenge the computer was used far less than usual and it and all it's extras are always turned off at the wall when not in use.<BR/><BR/>The other difference was that we only used the TV to watch a half hour news service for five nights in the week. We read, talked and went to sleep early.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing how others did.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445695027860122257noreply@blogger.com
