Starting energy consumption measurement

Post by dutchnomad »

On the forum I read a lot about energy comsumption and reduction. Can somebdoy point me in the direction of how all the measurements take place?
How do you 'measure' energy consumption for individual devices? Or do you calculate? How about devices with variable power consumption?
How do you measure total consumption?
etc...

I am a newbie here so be gentle with me [:D]

For total consumption you can use the RFXmeter
see the topic (dutch)

For individual devices you can use energy meters (gamma 15 euro)..or if you want it permanent then you can use plugwise..what is much better option

Yes, after investigating the Plugwise website it seems a good choice. Hopefully the discount code announced elsewhere on the forum will come available. After all it is almost Sinterklaas and Christmas.
