Energy Savings
How much does a Control4® system help the environment?
Dimmers, timers and occupancy sensors help reduce energy waste. In a typical three-bedroom home with a Control4 system, a family could save over 850 pounds of CO2 emissions each year — it’s like not driving a car for a month! That’s not just great for the environment, it’s also great for the homeowner’s pocketbook.
Further savings can be realized by controlling the amount of wattage used by light bulbs:
| Dimming the light this much |
Saves this much electricity |
Extends bulb life |
