Watts Up?

Recently I've fielded questions from staff regarding how much energy specific electronics use; for example aquariums, smart boards, projectors, cell phone chargers, etc. I am excited to try out the Watts Up? Pro, a handy dandy watt meter/power analyzer/electricity meter we have access to from SEE.
I will be able to plug various electronic items into the meter for specific amounts of time and then will connect it to a computer to track all sorts of data. It will track true power over time, capture surges and display peak readings, display usage and cost, create graphs and other visuals to help make us more aware of our energy use.
There are specific plans for using the watt meter over the next few weeks but if you have something in your building or classroom you would like tracked, please contact me at ext. 0051 and I'll check it out.
