World's first energy efficiency mobile internet site

The National Energy Foundation has launched what is believed to be the world's first mobile internet site devoted to energy efficiency, using WAP technology. "I am very pleased that users of WAP enabled mobile phones now have the opportunity to find basic information about saving energy," said Ian Byrne, Deputy Director of the National Energy Foundation. "We have always been keen to encourage UK consumers to install leading edge yet proven measures to save energy, and this site shows our continuing commitment to keep at the front of technology."

The Foundation's WAP site contains basic energy saving tips in four categories:

  • at home involving no costs
  • at home but requiring some investment
  • in the office
  • on the move
In addition it provides full address details for the Energy Saving Trust's network of 50 Energy Efficiency Advice Centres ensuring that people on the move can easily find or contact their nearest centre.
