But sometimes it's saved elsewhere. Home office often increases energy usage in data centers through chat software, video conferencing etc. But it saves much more in energy otherwise wasted for commute. Likewise, other computations in data centers might also save energy used somewhere else. Given all that servers do, 1% of electricity really doesn't seem much.
