Seeking good resources on how much energy is used for a number of less-familiar daily office and residential energy uses. This would be used for comparing a little-understood energy use to another, more familiar or tangible concept or energy use. For example: "Leaving a copy machine overnight uses enough energy to make over 1500 copies." I'm not looking for energy use CO2 equivalencies (although suggest 'em if you know 'em), but rather specific examples that connect an unfamiliar (e.g. standby copy machine energy) to a familiar (e.g. 1500 copies).
