The Smartest DIY Home Improvements

The Isolé IDP-3050 is an energy saving control system that provides maximum surge and noise suppression while keeping plugged-in equipment off when there is no occupancy. It consists of an eight outlet power strip and a personal occupancy sensor. The surge suppressor has a 5 year warranty.

Plug loads account for an increasing percentage of the total energy consumed by buildings — up to 15% in homes and 9% in commercial buildings. According to the EPA, “energy consumption by office equipment represents the fastest growing use of electricity in the country.”

The Isolé IDP-3050 consists of an eight-outlet power strip with surge protection and a personal occupancy sensor that utilizes the latest passive infrared (PIR) technology. When the sensor detects occupancy, it turns on controlled outlets. When the space becomes vacant, the sensor turns off these outlets automatically after the preset time delay expires.

A single workspace can consume 1,500 kWh each year with an average cost of $175 (and growing)! Add up the cost of every workspace and the amount is staggering. Isolé can dramatically cut this cost with energy savings of up to 50%.
