Everyone can save energy and money by
enabling power management on their computer monitors. With
over 55 million office computers in the US, EPA estimates
that over 11 billion kWh could be saved through monitor
power management. This amounts to:
$935 million per year saved at
8.5 cents/kWh.
Enough energy to power over one
million households for a year.
CO2 reductions equivalent to
preventing the emissions from 1.5 million cars or
planting 2.5 million acres of trees.
Home Office
If you're a home PC user or have a small organization with
only a few computers.
The
mainstay of the home office,
computers use more energy
than all other office
equipment combined. Power
management allows your
computer monitor to go into
a low-power sleep mode
during periods of computer
inactivity. A simple touch
of the mouse or keyboard
"wakes" the monitor within
seconds. By enabling your
monitor power management,
you could save from 100-600
kWh per year depending on
your computer-use habits.
These energy savings are
equivalent to $8.50-51 a
year saved at 8.5 cents per
kWh. In terms of reducing
CO2, this is the equivalent
of planting 1,000-6,000
square feet of trees or
preventing one to four weeks
worth of car emissions.
Small Organization
If you are a from a small to medium size organization (20 to
499 computers).
Small
organizations can save
energy and money by enabling
power management on their
computer monitors. Monitor power management
will not affect your
computer or network
performance. A simple touch
of the mouse or keyboard
"wakes" the machine within
seconds. Enabling monitor
power management could save
small organizations
approximately 20,000 kWh per
year for every 100 monitors.
This amounts to:
$1,700 per year
saved at 8.5 cents/kWh.
Enough energy to
power 23 households for
one month.
CO2 reductions
equivalent to preventing
the emissions from three
cars or planting 200,000
square feet of trees.
Large Organization
If you are from a large organization
(500+ computers).
Large
organizations can save
energy and money by enabling
power management on computer
monitors. Monitor power
management will not affect
your computer or network
performance. A simple touch
of the mouse or keyboard
"wakes" the machine within
seconds. Enabling monitor
power management could save
large organizations
approximately 200,000 kWh
per year for every 1,000
monitors. This amounts to:
$17,000 per year saved
at 8.5 cents/kWh.
Enough energy to power
230 households for one
month.
CO2
reductions equivalent to
preventing the emissions
from 28 cars or planting
2 million square feet of
trees.
