Yes, running a computer will consume more energy than when it is turned off or in sleep mode. The amount of energy consumption will vary based on the computer's usage, specifications, and power settings. Properly shutting down or putting a computer in sleep mode when it's not in use can help save energy.

You consume more energy than your body expends?

Energy expenditure comes from day-to-day activities as well as your body keeping an internal temperature of about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideally, you will consume and expend and equal amount of energy. However, if you consume more than you need, your body will have too much energy, storing it as glycogen or fat. More energy must be expended than consumed in order to deplete these energy reserves.

How much energy does the energy-efficient computer save?

If no, or few, applications are left up and running a computer will not consume much power when left on. Computers in general consume less power then a single light bulb when running. At idle they may go down to as little as 30 watts depending on age, speed and configuration of the computer.


Does charging an MP3 player in a charger take more energy than if you charge it in your computer?

It probably takes less energy, but it depends on the efficiencies of various components in the computer, charger, and MP3 player. Chargers convert the electricity less time than a computer, so they are generally more efficient. Good chargers also consume very, very small amounts of parasitic power when they are not charging...not enough to worry about.
