Energy & Appliance Standards for Plug Loads: Assessing Current Needs and Future Opportunities


Analyze and Test Total Energy Consumption of Plug Load Devices to Support Codes and Standards for Non-covered Products. This research will analyze the devices not currently covered by California or US Standards, determine their total energy consumption (standby and active modes) and identify those with the most potential for consideration in future codes and standards. We plan focusing major testing within the following categories: Commercial office equipment, Commercial lab equipment and Residential networking equipment.

Project Themes:

Power and Energy
