- Controls can get some initial savings
- Strategies to reduce idling and phantom loads when equipment is not in use
- Non-electrical equipment
- Growing IT loads and data centers—don’t just move the IT closet across the street or outside the building footprint
- Potential challenges are in energy-wasting communications and display (face-recognition technology and automated powering-down)
- What are categories that are not being addressed?
- What are some cross-cutting technologies that need attention?
- Electric vehicle and load management
