Free Webinar: Scouting for Residential Electricity Savings 
Presented by Energy Center of Wisconsin


January 27, 2010
1:00 pm–2:30 pm Central Time (includes live Q&A)


U.S. households are plugged in—there are now about 25 consumer electronic products in every household, compared with just three in 1980. A year-long field study in Minnesota sheds new light on the make-up of this growing electrical load and behavioral opportunities to curb the growth.
 
In this webinar, co-principal investigators Scott Pigg and Ingo Bensch present results from "Plugging into savings," a field research project funded by the Minnesota Office of Energy Security and Minnesota Power Company. Viewers will gain insights to help residential energy consumers manage their plugged-in electronics and slay their energy vampires.
