This 3-hour course discusses methods to control energy consumption due to portable and semi-portable devices that are plugged into electrical outlets. These “plug loads” are a growing source of energy consumption and there are several unique products in the marketplace to help users manage these energy loads. This course will review the size of the problem with plug loads and what can be done to manage these loads. The course also reviews a few representative products that are available today to help manage the consumption.
