Did you know that even when your electronics and appliances are turned off, they may still use energy? This is called a 'vampire load,' which can add up over time on your energy bill. Make sure to unplug when not in use! #energyefficiency #vampireload #savemoney #TipTuesday

The solution for addressing energy waste due to vampire loads in a residential setting is simple. Unplug. The solution for addressing energy waste in commercial HVAC systems is also simple. Right-size and optimize. #EEDay2022 #VampireLoad https://t.co/H9p90U5L3s

A modern television set uses 0.5 - 2 watts when not turned on. Not a big power draw, (at most) 17 kwh per year. But there are one or more television sets in over 1.7 billion households globally. That's over 28 billion kwh/year. #EEDay2022 #VampireLoad https://t.co/ztLSF3wof9

A microwave uses 2 to 7 watts of power in standby mode. The number of microwaves in use globally is estimated to be 1.1 billion. That’s 18.7 billion kwh of electricity used, just to display the time and wait. #EEDay2022 #VampireLoad https://t.co/eJxhM0oSWs

Many owners of laptop computers leave them plugged in all the time... just in case. But even though it's turned completely off, a laptop still draws some power. As much as 35 kwh per year. #EEDay2022 #VampireLoad https://t.co/5ueyt10CT3
