Energy Calculator graphic and link

Wilson Energy - You can use this site to determine the approximate energy consumption and cost for most home appliances.

The estimated energy consumption and costs are based on certain assumptions and average cost data. You can get a more accurate estimate of your home energy consumption and costs, along with valuable energy-saving recommendations, by completing the Energy Profile analysis.

When comparing incandescent or halogen bulbs to ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs or fixtures, compare the light output, or lumens, and not Watts. Watts equal the energy used, not the amount of light.

Industrial Audit Guide graphic
Industry Audit Guidebook - A guidebook for preforming walk-through energy audits of industrial facilities.

The purpose of the Industrial Audit Guidebook is to introduce the user, both technical and non-technical, to common opportunities that may be found in an industrial facility to reduce electrical energy consumption. It has not been developed as a sole reference to support the user in completing an analysis; but it has been developed to be an aid in the first and perhaps most critical step in performing an audit: touring the facility and quickly identifying energy savings opportunities. For the technical user, this guide can help determine where to focus efforts for a detailed energy audit. For the non-technical user, this guide will assist in developing a list of potential energy saving opportunities to refer to qualified personnel for additional study. This guide may also be used as a checklist when conducting a phone survey with a facility to determine whether or not a detailed energy audit is necessary.
