Plug-in products are a leading source of energy consumption. In fact, plug loads can account for up to 15 to 20% of the energy consumed by homes and commercial buildings. And, according to the EPA, "energy consumption by office equipment represents the fastest growing use of electricity in the country. A single workspace can consume 1,500 kWh each year with an average cost of $175 (and growing)! Add up the cost of every workspace and the amount is staggering. Fortunately, almost half of this energy use can be prevented if the outlets that power most equipment are turned off when spaces are unoccupied. This strategy not only turns off unused equipment, it also addresses the problem of “phantom loads.”
