 | Wait for the sun to go down and your house to go dark, then take a walk from room to room. See that? It’s the glow of electronic devices eagerly waiting to be powered up again. And as they wait, they drain energy.
“This wasted energy, known as standby or phantom energy loss, represents a relatively small but growing percentage of an individual home’s electricity use (about five percent), but taken across all U.S. households, adds up to an estimated 65 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year”, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. |
