Stand By Energy Consumption

Below are few of the findings which I feel worth sharing with you all..

When you turn off your TV, PC, or DVD, it still consumes energy. The standby mode does not mean it doesn’t consume energy, as how much energy each appliance uses during standby mode, take look at the chart below. In order to eliminate the energy consumption you could either unplug the appliance or use a switchable power strip for clusters of computer or video products. That way you can switch everything to zero with one action. The magnitude of the standby power consumption should be taken very seriously, since it comprises from 10% to 15% of your power bill. Altogether, standby power use is roughly responsible for 1% of global CO2 emissions.
