We are constantly forgetting the little everyday appliances that we keep on before we leave the house. These appliances, although we are unaware, consume energy while just sitting there collecting dust. Energy Aware, a product created by Janice Cheam, Sauder graduate, is a “user-friendly PowerTab” which gives house owners a measurement in watts of how much energy they are consuming. This PowerTab will be able to create a new perspective on the way we save energy, but also how we save money. By being able to see exactly how many watts of electricity we are using we can unplug energy eating appliances and consume less and less energy, which will end up saving us money when the hydro bill comes in the mail.
