There is a lot of standby energy consumption that people do not realize they use. In Australia this works out to be about 80 watts per household. This can be minimized by turning off devices at the wall. Real time building energy meters can show how much you are using in real time, cost per hour, daily totals, monthly totals. Once such a device is in place the household energy consumption usually falls 20%.
