4 - Target
You can use your npower home energy monitor to set yourself a daily target for
your usage and compare how you’re doing against it. You can set this target in kWh,
£ or kg CO
2
.
To decide on a target, check your previous electricity bills to calculate your own electricity
consumption, or for a rough guide you could start with these daily averages:
Single person 7.5 kWh / £1.05 / 4 kg CO
2
Working couple 10 kWh / £1.40 / 5 kg CO
2
Family with two children 14 kWh / £1.96 / 6 kg CO
2
Remember you can come back and change your target at any time.
Your daily target is shown as a mark positioned three quarters of the way along the
consumption bar on the milometer.
When viewing today or yesterday, the consumption shown is the approximate amount
of energy used on that day. When viewing 7 days, the consumption shown is the average
approximate energy used over the last 7 full days.
How to set the target
Step 1
From the main screen, press and hold the Set (
) button
for 3 seconds. The display will show the target screen. If you
release the button too quickly you’ll see the clock screen.
Step 2
You can set a target in one of three units. Use the
Up p and Down q buttons to choose between kWh,
kg CO
2
or £. Once you’ve chosen your preferred unit, press
Set ( ) and the figures on the screen will start to flash.
Step 3
The value can be altered using the Up p and Down q
buttons. Once you’re happy with the value press the
Set (
) button.
If you set a target of zero, the consumption bar graph is
hidden on this set-up screen to show that the target function
is not being used. A single segment on the milometer will fill
up when 1kWh is used and the word ‘target’ is not displayed.
