Yesterday, we figured out that over the last year, my unwise management of our personal computer resulted in approximately 803 kWh of energy being used-- and that's a conservative estimate. Now coupled with my new found knowledge and another trusty power strip, we can be a bit wiser going forward. Assuming I now power up the computer for an average of three hours daily:
0.11 kWh x 3 hrs = 0.33 kWh/day
0.33 kWh/day x 315 days remaining in the year = 104 kWh
803 kWh last year - 104 kWh this year = 699 kWh saved
So, we happily update today's tally to reflect almost 700 additional kWh projected to be saved in 2011. That brings our estimated energy savings to well over the 4,000 kWh mark!
