Peak power usage leaves 741.2W remaining
Normal power usage leaves 3082W remaining
Each WS uses a workgroup switch, monitor and workstation.
Peak power usage: 129W (8 Workstations)
Normal power usage: 92W (38 Workstations)
We could also have a few lights going as we use compact florescent.
Total workstations is a theoretical max, but during the winter we have adequate power for all employees as long as we ensure that all kitchen appliances, heaters, printers, and any device not being used exclusively for work is not connected to power outlets in the back and middle offices.
