St Mary's Junior School in Hornsey, North London, UK has saved £1,200 per year using Earthpill:
"We itemised and measured every electrical item in the school using the Earthpill web-site and produced totals which showed that 67% of the consumption was due to lighting." This led to school applying for and being awarded a grant from ENCAMS to fit PIR occupancy detectors to all rooms. The school's site manager, Ian Bruce, has calculated that this will save them 10,000 kWh (£1,200) per year which is around 15% of their total electricity use.

Earthpill is mentioned in an article in the IET magazine by Keri Allan.
"To get more precise numbers, a company called Earthpill created a website that allows people to measure the consumption of their domestic appliances with an energy monitor and put their readings into a free online database. By sharing results, people can see where they are wasting electricity without the need to measure every appliance themselves.
"With companies such as Earthpill appearing, it's clear to see that the issue of energy efficiency is becoming more resonant with the public. This can only be positive news."
