No one likes electronics that turn into energy vampires during the night, but remembering to turn them off all the time rarely makes the to-do list. Sterling Technologies believes it has solved that problem.

The Commerce Township-based firm is spinning out Energy Management Devices and its principal product, the g-plug. The device measures the amount of electricity that electronics plugged into it are consuming and turns them off when they're not in use, for an energy savings as big as 65 percent.

"Your payback is almost immediate," says Carl Godell, director of sales and marketing for Sterling Technologies.

The 25-person firm is working with the Macomb-OU INCubator to get these devices into institutions both public and private in Michigan. It's being tested in one school right now, with more on the horizon.

"We would like to see this product in every school in the state of Michigan," Godell says.
