"There's a common misconception that if you sign off from your computer at the end of the workday, it stops drawing any energy. In reality, your computer draws power overnight, resulting in a significant amount of energy going wasted and unnoticed. It's called a phantom load."
"In fact, all those plugged-in computers, coffee machines, vending machines and a host of other common devices can account for more than 25% of a building's energy use, with much of that power drain occurring when the space isn't even occupied."
"Companies traditionally have not been able to do much about this wasted power, other than posting signs asking employees to unplug devices when not in use and hoping they'll follow through. Now, there's a better solution: Connected Power, a Honeywell Building Automation product that helps companies automatically monitor and manage their energy use, down to the level of individual outlets."
"When the last person leaves at night, you can instantly get rid of the total load. We're able to immediately start saving energy."
