Enerlites Plug Load Controls
What is "Plug Load"?
A plug load is energy consumed by a device that is plugged in to a receptacle. It is not uncommon to see task lighting, flat panel TV's and monitors left on when a building is not occupied. These plug loads are largely ignored and are drawing power even when in standby. Plug loads consume roughly 25% of commercial electricity use and provide large opportunities for building manager to cut energy consumption, decrease costs, and increase bottom line. Examples include task lighting, monitors, cell phone chargers, A/V equipment, and other electronic devices that can be switched OFF at night without causing harmful consequences.
