A review of the highly acclaimed ‘Wattson’ remote energy display meter, which comes with full-function renewable energy monitoring. £90. (One extra sensor needed. Available from the Good Energy Shop.)   

Watts On Remote Power Meter

- Handy and hands on -

I have had Electrisaves, and Efergys, and Owls in the past, as you might imagine, and I am a huge fan of all of them. But the Wattson is the BMW of remote energy meters. 
 

For those not familiar with the technology, the beauty of a remote (wireless) electricity use display unit is that you and everyone who lives in your house all get a clear signal as to how much juice you are burning up, at any moment: ie ‘real-time’ feedback. The unit shows you very clearly, with large digit LCD or LED displays, how fast the electricity meter is currently spinning.  How fast you are clocking up power charges.

DIY KYOTO live on BBC Radio 5 'Wake up to money' program

This was a great experience to go live on air at the BBC radio 5 'Wake up to money' program. MP Mark Prisk definitely is somebody who actually listens and hopefully will take actions as soon as possible. 

D&AD DIY KYOTO'S Student Prize Winners revealed!

What fantastic talent we have here! We were very proud handing out the yellow pencil to such great talents. Congratulations to Adam, Rich & Matthew for their ingenious toaster idea. 

 

And also Congratulations to the runner up's! Second prize for Sivaprakash Shanmugam, Maximo Riadigos, Katrin Baumgarten and Ting-Chung Cheng. 

The brief we set was:
Design a product that empowers consumers who enjoy access to the luxury market to live more sustainably.

Creative Challenge:
You must design a product that by its very existence helps the consumer to live more sustainably, whether by directly affecting the consumer’s behaviour or by indirectly influencing the way they live. To do this you will need to either identify a new need in the luxury consumer market which can be filled sustainably or take an existing paradigm of a product or service and re-design it to be more sustainable in it’s material use or impact on people’s lives.

A great day with Small Business Minister Mark Prisk

We must admit that the day we spend with our SME MP Mark Prisk was of great value. It was really good to see that there are still some people listening and that we can make a change. 

Not only was the discussions really interesting but he also managed to get some hot leads on his sales calls! He definitely does not mind to muck in, while unfortunately his tea skills are left to be desired :)

Thank you Mark Prisk & his office for making this day a memorable one.
