COMPUTER MONITORS - POWERDOWN
Offer
I have received an advance copy of a CADDETT Case Study on the installation
of energy saving devices on computer monitors. CADDETT is an international
collaboration scheme on energy efficiency to exchange information between
member countries.
The case study covers installation by Ontario's Green Workplace initiative
of PowerSaver energy-saving devices on all the computers at the Ministry of
Environment and Energy's headquarters in Toronto, Canada.
Close investigation showed that only a single PC monitor, in the whole
building, was found to have been properly powered down by its software.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the energy-saving software in
these units had either not been enabled by the vendor before shipping, or
was disabled by IT personnel or the users themselves.
Net energy savings over a twelve month period totalled CanDollar 20,650.
These energy savings correspond to a return on investment of 168 %. These
results were achieved at an electrical rate of CanDollar 0.083/kWh.
Should you require a copy of the draft text of this case study contact
