You dropped the time component from the first, so yes, the result is incomparable. “Power spent on lighting worstations while vacant” is energy | |||||||||||||||||

I don't think so, "while vacant" is an infinite amount of time, if you look infinitely far into the future. | |||||||||||||||||

Assume that each workstation is lit by 100W of lighting and is vacant 18 hours per day (to make the math easy). I claim that's 75W of power that could be reclaimed by turning off a 100W load 75% of the time. Explain how you get to energy or how I dropped time, please. | |||||||||||||||||
