'Diary of an Eco-Builder' is the story of a self-builder who was inspired to build his own energy-saving, eco-friendly property on a small, derelict site in Clapham.
Revolution in showering and flushing
Two new water-saving products from Brightwater Environmental are set to revolutionise showering and flushing.
It's not until you use one of these devices in a house that you realize exactly which appliances gobble up the most juice and where all the money on energy is going! Tests carried out over a 12-month period in an average-size family home confirm that the Electrisave can help save as much as 25% on electricity bills.
That's about £200 on an average household bill.
Consequently, the Electrisave, which you can buy from the ECOshop at 4ecotips.com, will pay for itself literally within months! The Electrisave comprises a remote transmitter and clip-on sensors, which can be installed in any household or small office near the meter box, plus a portable monitor.
Fitting is easy and straighforward.
Its operating range is up to 30m and needs only six AA batteries to power it.
Electrisave works by taking aggregated readings of energy consumption and relays them via the wireless transmitter to the remote receiver/monitor.
With the current electricity tariff simply programmed in, the receiver then computes the approximate power use; energy cost and green house gas generation and displays the results on the portable LCD screen.
It's even sensitive enough to record the savings made by switching off even a 20watt light.
The Electrisave monitor which cost £78 (plus pandp) is about the size of an average paperback book, measuring just 107mm wide X 117mm high and 30mm thick.
It can be in full view standing alone on a table, shelf or worktop or it can be easily surface mounted using a straightforward recess hole in the back of the unit.
It also displays ambient indoor temperature and humidity comfort levels.
