Other Programs

GEORGIA ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCE AUTHORITY

The partnership with the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) was a 2010 grant to put a Kill-A-Watt meter in every library Georgia. The meters’ purpose is so patrons can monitor their energy usage at home in the hopes of reducing power bills and fostering energy conservation efforts statewide.

Kill-A-watt Meter

-Patrons check out the meter, take it home, and plug their appliances and electronic devices into the meter instead of the wall outlet directly. By doing so, you are shown how many kilowatts hours (kWh) that particular appliance or electronic device uses, whether it is switched on, running, idle or in standby mode. This further you to determine the dollar amount it costs to keep that particular appliance or device plugged in. Over the years the Kill-A-Watt meter has been available in libraries, residents have saved more than $70,000 in the purchase price of a meter and additional thousands off annual electric bills.
-The Kill-A-Watt meter has a circulation period of fourteen (14) days.
