Zusammenfassung:A system for management of workstation energy is provided. The system includes a workstation having an energy outlet operable to provide energy to the workstation, a workstation occupancy sensor disposed in the workstation, and a cluster energy manager coupled with the energy outlet and workstation occupancy sensor. The workstation may be connected in a workstation cluster. The workstation occupancy sensor may be operable to detect occupancy of the workstation. The cluster energy manager may have a distribution circuit configured to control energy provided to the energy outlet, the cluster energy manager operable to control the energy based on occupancy of the workstation and/or a network event. The cluster energy manager is operable to report occupancy or workstation energy consumption to a monitoring system.
