Pentagram for GE

This new interactive data visualization for GE is a pretty neat way to calculate which household items are most costly in terms of watts, dollars, or gallons of gas. By clicking on and off the icons, you can customize it for your own home. Apparently heating and cooling appliances (central air, water heater, furnace) are the biggest hogs in your house, so they should get the most attention. The site also shows how long it would take for a new Energy Star appliance to pay for itself in savings.

The design of the site is by none other than Pentagram. Check out some of the nice icons they made below.
