What is this?
Phantom Load is an interactive 3D computer game set in a realistic building environment. This is an early version of the game. The final version will have multiple levels.
What is a 'phantom load'?
A 'phantom load' is the "hidden" power that supports standby functions and instant-on capabilities, meaning devices draw electricity even when they appear to be "off." Essentially, it's any energy waste that creates no productive output.
Why should you play Phantom Load?
Play to master the invisible forces of building energy efficiency and take a direct stand against climate change.
In this high-stakes simulation, you’ll hunt down hidden inefficiencies and optimize complex systems to achieve peak building performance. Every move you make to slash energy waste is a win for the planet.
Don't just watch the crisis-jump in, solve the puzzle, and prove you can engineer a zero-carbon future.
Who made this game?
Phantom Load is developed by a team led by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements.
