I don't think that's correct, unless I am missing something?

Telecommuting: Turn on your PC in a room of your house and start work Biking/Walking to Work: Bike/walk to work and turn on a PC in an office.

What's the extra telecommuting energy expenditure? Servers for a VPN?



People not all using their own computers and internet connections, during meetings because they're all in the same room (or in a room with a single computer and internet connection), as well as people not all needing to each have lights, heating, etc. on at home because they're all in a shared building with (almost certainly more efficient) HVAC.


Lower productivity through telecommuting. What should take 2 weeks now takes 3. That's 50% more resources.
