My office when everything is off consumes 7w total.

That’s 2 high end computers, 3 monitors in sleep mode, 2 phone chargers a laptop charger.

7w is more than tolerable for me

Yeah both the monitors and computers will consume a bit. Even a modern PC when turned off is in a type of deep sleep mode, for stuff like wake on LAN.

The chargers will hardly even register anything, except maybe in some rare case where its a special one that is doing some sort of passive listening (like the PC’s)

I think my monitors are rated at 0.5w each

I actually think the biggest drain are the power strips with built in USB adapters. Maybe 1w each

A funny culprit I found during my own investigation was the GFCI bathroom outlet, which draws an impressive 4W. The status light + whatever the trickle current it uses to do its function thus dwarfs the standby power of any other electronic device.
