Energy-efficient Office Equipment – from APS - Office equipment is the fastest growing electrical load in the business sector. With the widespread use of desktop computers, printers and other devices, an office can have hundreds of units and the energy costs can add up. Energy use from office equipment has surpassed lighting in many buildings where office equipment and miscellaneous loads can account for up to 2.5 Watts per square foot of floor space while lighting only makes up 1.5 Watts. In a recent study by APS, office equipment and other miscellaneous uses accounted for over 40 percent of electricity consumption in large office buildings with most of that by office equipment¹. Since office equipment accounts for an increasingly large share of the electricity bill, it is important to consider energy use characteristics when you are shopping for new equipment. By purchasing the most efficient products, the electric bill will be reduced, adding to the bottom line. Energy-efficient offices help to protect the environment as well.
