Vampire Units : Identify & Estimate your wastage by Vampire Power

Identifying and Estimating

It is important to identify which appliances consume vampire power. Such appliances are identified if they are:

• Always plugged in sockets
• Switched Off by remote
• Put on Standby or Remote
• Always Changing

We have listed below a set of electronic devices that are most commonly used in most households or offices. The list also contains the average vampire power or average standby power consumption in W (watts) of the respective appliances.

To estimate the units, following equation can be used:

Units = Watts x Hours

These vampire units help quantify the amount of wastage and take proper precautions against it. For ease of use, we have organised the data in five generic categories.
