Introduction

A Plug Load controller facilitates energy-saving capabilities by controlling plug loads with the help of occupancy or 

schedule-based on/off control of receptacles on a circuit.

Plug load controls are an essential component of advanced energy management systems, designed to reduce energy consumption from devices connected to electrical outlets. Leveraging a wide range of control strategies, these systems allow to monitor and manage plug loads with greater precision and responsiveness.

Lumos Controls' plug load control solutions support:

• Manual control for localized override,

• Demand response to reduce load during peak utility events,

• BACnet signal integration for seamless building management communication,

• Personal control enabling individual workspace customization,

• Scheduling for automated shutdown during off-hours,

• Occupancy-based control to shut off unused outlets when spaces are vacant,

• Web/mobile interfaces for intuitive, remote access and configuration.

Thus, plug load controls provide both operational savings and environmental benefits.
