Study: Digital tools help homeowners save on energy

Would Americans power down, unplug and flip the switch if they knew exactly how much electricity they were consuming and exactly how much they could save by consuming less?
The answer, at least for participants in an Energy Department study, is yes — to the tune of about 10% savings on their electricity bills.
Consumers with their home heating systems and some appliances outfitted to react to constantly changing price information were able to save that much while reducing demand on the power grid during peak periods, according to an Energy Department study released this week.
