32
www.esource.com || © 2013 E Source32 Overall takeaways Office energy use was most significantly reduced by timer control Overall reduction of about 50% The largest savings were for loads that run 24/7 Laptops and monitors may not be the best targets if they already employ effective settings Installed costs vary $100 per web-connected strip, timers are $10 Simple payback periods can vary widely Can range from <1 to nearly 50 years!
