ting your baseline, try to take into ac-
count whether major energy-consuming
appliances are in operation:
•
Central A/C (while running)
•
Electric stove, dryer, or water heater
•
Computers/entertainment systems
•
Electric baseboard heat
Re-setting your home energy consump-
tion baseline has the effect of normaliz-
ing the ecoMeter to your present energy
demand and consumption.
The ecoMeter’s screen will immediately
turn green and change to the Home
Screen as the baseline resets.
After re-setting your baseline, if your
usage and demand goes any higher
(see the illustration to the left) the dis-
play color may change to amber.
The reference values saved will now be
displayed whenever the
key is
pressed.
