One of the many objectives for my new home network design was low power consumption. 90% of the devices need to be running 24 x 7.  Electricity is not only expensive but I also see it as a challenge to be as energy efficient as possible. Pulled from the Vendor data sheets for the equipment

If your designing networks regularly I highly recommend this Network Design Cookbook.  The first few chapters lay out a clear structure to design  from the intial phase, design phase, proposal phase, review, pre & post implementation.
