I am concern regarding power usage at home and work. The bill keep on increasing. Our national power producer TNB keeps on increasing tariffs especially for commercial use. I hope the meter reader reads the meter properly.

Anyway these are the steps that I will be taking to reduce power usage at work

We will try to convert Desktops to Notebook. Desktops use more power than notebook.

I will switch off my desktop and only use my notebook If I do not require processing power.

We will use timer to switch off our wireless network and modem. The device will automatically turn on power at 8.30 am and switch off at 7.30pm when everybody has gone off.

If I had the resources I would use solar power cell to power the less important device such as light bulbs in the washroom and staircase.

At home nothing much I can do except switch the satellite tv decoder – astro completely. When I need the update, I can manually update thru the interactive menu – update services. I wish I had a power meter so I can calculate the power usage of each electrical items at home and work.
