Receptacle Control Solutions
Energy Codes now require automatic shut-off controls for plug loads and lighting in many spaces.
With the increase in lighting control requirements and new lighting technologies like LED fixtures, plug load
equipment has increased as a percentage of electrical power in many spaces. Research data has shown that plug
loads have grown as a percentage of electricity usage from 15% to almost 50% in high efficiency offices today.
Additional energy savings can be captured by implementing receptacle or plug load control to automatically
ensure that the plug loads are turned OFF when the space is vacant. Receptacle control has been added to the
latest energy codes as a requirement in many spaces.
What is plug load control?
Plug Load or Receptacle Control is now required in ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and California’s Title 24 2013. ASHRAE
90.1-2010 is the minimum building standard for the Department of Energy, several states currently have building
codes that comply with or exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2010.
••
••
ASHRAE 90.1-2010 requires automatic receptacle control of 50% of the 15 and 20 Amp receptacles, including
those found in modular partitions, located in private offices, open offices and computer classrooms. Plug-in
strips and devices can no longer be used for automatic receptacle control; the receptacle itself must be
controlled.
Title 24 2013 requires controlled 120v receptacles in all buildings. Applicable areas include private offices, open
office areas, conference rooms, kitchenettes and more. Plug-in strips and devices can no longer be used for
automatic receptacle control; the receptacle itself must be controlled.
How can we control plug loads?
There are two strategies for providing automatic plug load or receptacle control.
••
••
Occupancy based control: Occupancy or Vacancy sensors constantly monitor if the space is occupied. When
the space is vacant the sensor will ensure the receptacles are automatically turned OFF either directly or by
sending a signal to the lighting control system.
Schedule based control: The lighting control system or some other time clock device ensures the receptacles
are automatically turned OFF based on user defined time.

Room Controller and Smart Devices use Click & Go technology:
The Room Controller will automtically recognize any smart device connected with the quick
connect cable (provided) and start working immediately upon power up with no
programming required.
The Room Controller defaults to Manual On/Automatic Off vacancy sensor mode for
maximum energy savings. Wallstations buttons can toggle zones or trigger preset scenes
and can be mixed within each wallstation.

What’s next:
Automatic Receptacle Control requirements are continuing to expand in future versions of building energy codes. Both
ASHRAE 90.1-2013 and Title 24 version 2016 include automatic receptacle control requirements in more spaces.
Conclusion:
Lighting and receptacle controls continue to play a vital role in meeting energy code requirements that also help meet your
operating budgets and our national energy conservation goals. The automatic receptacle control methods outlined in this
document help reduce plug loads as a percentage of electricity used in spaces when not occupied.
