Phantom loads, aptly dubbed vampire loads, are silent energy thieves that quietly devour power, leaving our energy bills bloated by as much as 20%. They siphon electricity even when our idle devices appear to be slumbering. While individually inconspicuous, at a cost of over £65 per year/per device, their collective drain adds up.
Plug load refers to the electricity used by devices and other electronics plugged into a 120-volt or 220-volt outlet. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 26% of the electricity used in the workplace is from plug load. The typical office workspace has a computer, monitor, and phone. There are charging cables and docks for electronic devices like cell phones and tablets. There may also be a lamp, desk fan, or space heater. Equipment such as refrigerators, drink machines, coffee makers, and copiers fall under plug load.
Plug load does not include the amount of electricity used in overhead lighting or heating and air conditioning systems.
