Hot Courses - Perl

It feels like a heatwave! Or rather "summer has come to the UK".

We were doing some sums on today's private course in East Anglia, which is running at the customer's office with some 16 delegates (far more than on our public courses, where the limit is 8) so that made 17 of us in the room, plus 18 laptops and hubs and a projector.

17 people at 500 watts
18 laptops at 75 watts each
2 hubs at 20 watts each
one projector at some-more watts

So that's over 10 Kwatts - or the equivalent of 4 electric fires running full blast. No wonder that the air conditioning unit was struggling!
