Watch your Watts: Meter Available from Library
Westwood Library now has a "Kill A Watt™" meter that may be checked out by library patrons. The meter can be checked out for a week - take the meter home, plug your appliances into the meter one-by-one and watch your energy consumption appear on the meter's screen. The meter has been provided by NSTAR.
Residents interested in conserving energy should also check out the Westwood Environmental Action Committee (WEACT) to learn more about efforts in Westwood to promote sustainability and energy conservation. For those who are interested in a "whole-house" monitoring solution, the PowerCost Monitor will give you real-time feedback on how much total electricity you are using at any given time...helping you know to turn off lights, appliances, etc.
