I don't remember where/when, but I remember hearing about a regulation for the maximum number of outlets in a room, "to save energy".  My office would be insanely over budget. It would be fair to estimate that I have 100 110V devices plugged in at any moment.  The total consumption is about 1kW or so as measured by the UPS that it all runs through, to the single outlet that runs it all.. (which is not detectably warm)
