The claim has been that Smart Homes save energy - but where do these energy savings come from and how much can you expect to save? Callaway Home Theater and Control4 have the answers. The truth is that much of the energy we use is actually wasted energy. For example studies have shown that 50% of the electricity used for lighting is wasted due to inefficient lighting or careless consumers. We also know that not running your air conditioner when you are not even home is wasteful and costly.
A Control4 Home Automation system from Callaway Home Theater helps control all the energy hogging systems in your home. You can now control lighting, home theater, temperature control even security with one system. How much can you save through this home automation? Each home is unique and will generate different level of savings. Control4 uses dimmers, timers and sensors to reduce energy waste. For a typical three bedroom house over 850 pounds of CO2 emissions could be eliminated each year. That would be equivalent to not driving your car for a month. Dimming your lights by 25% saves 20% electricity and allows your light bulbs to last four times as long.
