In recent times, global energy prices have continued to increase and according to expert opinion will continue to rise in the years to come. Therefore, any investments made in optimising energy consumption will pay off.

Many private households are unaware of the enormous energy saving potential that is possible. As a result of independent studies, many household appliances have an efficiency of just 40 to 75 per cent. Televisions, TV set-up boxes, telephone charging stations, game consoles, mobile phone and laptop charging devices, PC and DSL routers all keep the electricity meter going round and round. That is a burden to both climate and environment, as well as increasing household costs due to the continuous rise of energy prices.

The system study Berker EnergyGuard now is able to identify the appliances which are inefficient at home and at work.
