Power Consumption (359 words) |
 | Once the actual power consumption is known though, it is a simple task to convert to either of the others. |
| Power consumption can be derived both for individual appliances and for the household as a whole. |
| By taking regularly readings of the accumulated kWh and having some idea of when high consumption appliances like heaters, stoves and air-conditioners were operating, it should be possible to work out where a lot of the electricity consumed is going. |
