Device Usage Survey

🌱 Help Us Make a Difference!

Your participation in this survey is crucial for our research project on energy consumption awareness. We're studying how household devices consume electricity even when plugged in but not actively used (phantom load).

📊 Your honest responses help us understand real-world usage patterns

🔋 This data will contribute to energy-saving recommendations

🌍 Together, we can reduce unnecessary energy consumption

Please provide conscious and accurate responses - every data point matters for our research!

🔒 Privacy Disclaimer

We do not collect or store any personal information. This survey only gathers data about typical device usage hours to understand phantom energy consumption patterns. Your responses are completely anonymous and used solely for research purposes.

Q3: Are you aware of what phantom energy loss is?

Yes, I know what phantom energy loss is No, I'm not familiar with phantom energy loss I have some idea but not completely sure

Q4: Do you use power strips to switch off devices completely when not in use?

Yes, I always use power strips to cut power completely Yes, but only for some devices No, but I'm interested in using them No, and I don't plan to use them

Your contribution to our energy consumption research is invaluable. Together, we can make a significant impact on reducing unnecessary energy waste!

💡 What is Phantom Energy Loss?

Phantom energy loss (also called standby power or vampire power) occurs when electronic devices consume electricity even when they're turned off but still plugged in.

🔌 How to Avoid Phantom Energy Loss:

Use power strips: Turn off the strip to cut power completely
Unplug devices: When not in use for extended periods
Smart power strips: Automatically cut standby power
Energy-efficient appliances: Look for ENERGY STAR certified products
Smart plugs: Control and monitor device power remotely

Small actions, big impact! Reducing phantom load can save money on electricity bills and help protect the environment.
