Slay Energy Vampires
“Energy Vampire” refers to appliance that consumes electricity in standby mode, especially those with clock display, remote control sensor or battery charger. They lurk in your home, taking the form of phone charger, router, television, microwave oven, etc., and can account for up to 10% of your electricity bill. How to get rid of these vampires? • Use smart power strips to turn off power to assorted appliances when they are not in use (e.g. television and TV box, computer and printer). • Unplug chargers once your electronic devices are fully charged. • Identify the appliances that you don’t use often and unplug them. • Put appliances (e.g. computer monitor) to sleep when not in use by activating energy saving mode.
趕絕吸電鬼 「吸電鬼」是指處於待機模式下仍會消耗能量的電器,尤其是附有時鐘顯示,遙控感應或電池充電的電器設備,它們以電話充電器,路由器,電視,微波爐等形式潛伏在家中,用電量可高達總電費10%。如何擺脫吸電鬼? • 利用電源板(拖板)管理開關,將閒置電器的電源關上(例如: 電視及電視盒、電腦及打印機)。 • 當電子設備充滿電後,盡快拔下充電器插頭。 • 將較少使用的電器插頭拔下。 • 將電器調校至慳電模式(例如: 電腦顯示屏),在閒置時令其進入睡眠狀態。
