Solution
Business PCs in the United States waste 24 billion kWH of energy
a year, simply by running at full power when no users are present.
Thats twice Connecticuts total consumption for all of
1999. In addition add to this the waste that occurs in public institutions
colleges, universities, school systems, and government buildings.
ABC creates
an environment where reduction in energy consumption and cost peacefully
co-exist with user productivity: Where each computers energy
consumption falls by an average 200 kWH a year.
PC networks
consume more than any other plug-load device or system 5%
to 10% of the energy in most commercial offices. For the first time,
energy consumption of a network can be examined to determine user
behavior and practices, quantify energy waste, and establish appropriate
energy use strategies.
This solution
is a painless path to creating truly energy-efficient PC networks:
without changing user behavior; with low capital costs; with the
flexibility to accommodate diverse users and hardware types; and
with a rapid and measurable return on investment.
