Low Energy Product Design Series – Standby Power: The Phantom in the Machine
Standby power, also called “vampire power” or “phantom power”, refers to the small amount of electricity consumed by many appliances when they are switched off or are not being used for their primary function.
Estimate of the Energy Wasted by Network Connected Equipment
The objective of this study is to estimate the energy wasted by network-connected equipment due to excess connectivity and that could be saved through better power management policies.
List of Technical Standards for Equipment Connected to Energy-Using Networks
This report is a non-exhaustive review of technical standards from 2010 relevant for network connected equipment. It reviews the standards perceived by the authors as the most relevant that could potentially form the basis of a consistent international standard
Testing Products with Network Connectivity
This report documents many existing requirements relevant to testing products with networks and sets out key issues to be considered. The main specifications in existence are in the Energy Star program and in the European Codes of Conduct
