Energy efficiency in offices - small power loads
Article Abstract:
Methods for assessing and predicting the power requirements of office equipment have been drawn up following studies of equipment in use. Generally, the power consumption of photocopiers and vending machines is proportional to the use made of them. Computers and printers are used by some workers more than others, thus having variable power requirements. Calculations can be done to assess the average power load for each user of the office and throughout the day. Future developments in technology will see loads increasing initially but they may fall in the long term as machines become more efficient.
