Electricity Saving Trust enthusiastic about Nokia Home Control Center
The Danish Electricity Saving Trust is enthusiastic about Nokia’s new Home Control Center, which is a type of router developed on an open platform. This allows access by third parties to integrate solutions such as My E-Home, which is the Trust’s advanced Internet platform for intelligent home control. In this way Nokia Home Control Center can act as the actual link which allows consumers to control and monitor their energy consumption via My E-Home. My E-Home makes Denmark one of the leading countries on the intelligent home front. | 06.01.2009

Standby still problematic
Today, many producers are developing electrical appliances which use less than 1 watt of power on standby. Nevertheless, it is still worth eliminating standby completely with an AutoPowerOff plug bank, or by switching off appliances at the wall socket. There’s still plenty of cash to be saved on the electricity bill and in terms of carbon emissions. | 05.01.2009
