Plug Load Energy Testing to Inform Codes & Standards (PLETICS)

The objectives of the research are to reduce electricity use of active and standby modes for residential networking equipment, commercial imaging equipment, and laboratory equipment as well as provide information to inform future codes & standards. By the end of 2021, the project team completed device selection, a full market assessment report, and started assessing which common features impact energy use for each device. The next phase of the project will involve the development of new or to improve existing test procedures for measuring total energy consumption for future consideration by codes and standards.
