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.

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