But how much electricity does a company use?

In a case study showing the positive effects of using solar energy, Sun Power provided these statistics for a typical home:

The average US home uses about 900 kWh per month.
This is just an average for US households, not taking into account the over- or under-using people inside or outside this country.


Forbes says that large companies, offices, factories, etc. can use 100kWh... every half hour.

While it is difficult to accurately measure how much electricity the global remote workforce uses in a day, comparing 1.25 kWh per hour of average household consumption to 100 kWh per half hour in belgium phone number list businesses shows us that, ultimately, working from home will always be more beneficial.

City lights or starry nights?
Some may migrate to a larger city in hopes of having easier access to jobs. Others, on the other hand, may move to another area within the same city to reduce their commute time, trading the cost of gasoline for a higher rental cost.

It's easy to see how working remotely can solve both of these problems in one fell swoop.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau , roughly 80% of Americans live in urban areas. But in a recent study, it seems that many aren't doing so out of conviction. In a poll conducted by CBS , 38% of city residents would prefer to live in more rural areas.

Honestly, I can't blame them. There's much less noise and light pollution, better air quality, not to mention marginally lower living expenses.

Working remotely removes the limitations that large metropolitan areas often have when it comes to job opportunities and the financial and environmental factors associated with a physical office.

Remote work to improve
The impact that remote workers can have on the environment can only be as useful as it is relevant to the employee. But it is employers themselves who can tip the balance in favour of environmental initiatives.
