Saving energy

I was at the home of a client for a party this evening. They moved here a few years ago from San Francisco. There home was older and in a great neighborhood in Louisville.

We started talking about the things they're doing to conserve energy. You see and hear all these claims online and on TV that sound great, but don't you wonder if they really work. I am always interested in real life example of ways to save energy.

One of the things they've started doing that has had a large impact on their energy usage has been using power strips to reduce phantom power consumption. They weren't sure how much it would save, but it turns out to be about 20%.

What are you doing?
