Wire green switch circuits to easily turn off devices left in standby overnight or over closures (e.g. computers, monitors, electronics).
Devices left in standby consume power even when they are not in use, and can make up 5-10% of a typical power bill. By switching devices off at the wall, this waste is avoided. However, it is impractical to turn off many devices at the wall because they are under desks or behind cabinets. Wiring a switch to easily turn off devices left in standby at the end of the day or when a periodically used system is shut down will stop energy wasted in standby mode.

Green switches won't work unless we use them appropriately - showing and reminding staff of this energy efficiency tool will assist in uptake.
