CEE: Eco-Economics Series: Watt You Need to Know

The cost of owning and operating an electric appliance is not just the price of the appliance. In this webinar, participants will undergo a series of decision-making rounds using their preferences, a budget, and energy cost research to make household purchasing decisions.

Teachers will be able to:

• Evaluate the benefits and costs of various products in order to make household purchasing decisions.
• Compare the benefits and costs of conducting consumer research.
• Identify U.S. government programs (the Federal Trade Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency) that aid consumers in researching appliance energy costs.
