Leafy Concept Visually Calculates Energy Spent

Energy monitors are not new, and it's surely only a matter of time before they become mandatory in UK homes as we all track our carbon hoofprint. Somehow, however, I doubt they'll be as elegant and thoughtful as designer Delroy Dennisur's concept.

Not only does the smooth white panel calculate your energy and financial expenditure - showing you the amount of energy used and your current bill - it also offers a visual reminder to cut down on energy consumption with a leaf pattern which grows, yellows and rots as you spend more. A visual conscience prick to conserve energy is handy - although if you grow too in love with the pattern you might use more just to see it.
