I heat and cool my home whether I am there or not. Being in an office isn’t going to change the fact that I want my home comfortable all of the time unless I’m in vacation.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoI think most people do not operate this way. All you have to do is look at electricity usage charts to see that ac goes of during the day and turns back on when people get home.
- Symbiote 3y agoWhy not significantly reduce your electricity use and carbon footprint by not doing that?
- lotsoweiners 3y agoI work from home so this is all hypothetical and am not particularly concerned with my own carbon footprint overall. I live in Phoenix and am on a time of use plan that encourages (cheaper) high energy usage during most of the day and discourages (expensive) high energy from 3-8 I believe. This basically means that I would be heavily using energy until 3 which would be the majority of my shift (I leave at 4). Combining this with gas for commute (approximately 20-25 miles each way) and I just don't see any scenario where not cooling my house during the day is economically beneficial to me.
