Real-Time Electricity Monitoring

How much electricity gets used at your home each day?  How does home electricity use change throughout the day, week, month, or year?  How can learning about how electricity is used at home help you use electricity more efficiently? Learn how to design and carry out your own investigation by collecting, analyzing, and sharing data from home electricity monitoring devices and "smart" meters (meters that provide real-time data), Kill A Watt meters, and other “PowerSleuthing” tools.  Your findings will help your family conserve and use electricity more efficiently, reducing costs to your family and the environment.
