New CEA Study—Electricity Usage Per Home Falls [Society News]

Despite their significantly higher market penetration in U.S. homes, consumer electronics (CE) now account for a lower percentage of electricity usage per household than they did three years ago, according to new research released today recently by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). The study Energy Consumption of Consumer Electronics in U.S. Homes in 2013 [1], says CE devices accounted for just 12% of residential electricity consumption in the United States last year, a 9% drop from their energy consumption share in 2010 (13.2%).
