- Reduce Energy Costs At Home
The My Energy and Water Saver kits can help you reduce electricity and water costs. Kits are available for loan through the Your Library network.
The kits are designed to help households identify causes of high electricity and water usages, such as water leakages, inefficient fixtures, and usage behaviours. With this information, you can make improvements to improve energy efficiency at home.
Each kit consists of the following resources:
- thermal imaging camera
- power meter
- stopwatch
- thermometer
- CSIRO Home Energy Saving Handbook
- instruction guide
The kits come with a step-by-step instructional guide on how to use the various equipment to measure electricity and water usage.
A total of 22 kits are available for loan.
The kits were launched in 2022 by a joint partnership between Knox, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges Councils.
Knox households account for 18% of total greenhouse emissions in our community. This initiative is supported by our Climate Response Plan 2021-2031, which aims to help our community lower emissions and reach net zero by 2040.
Place a reservation to loan a kit at the Your Library website.
