“More than 30 billion kilowatt-hours of energy is wasted because many of us simply forget to shut down our computers when we’re not using them. If we could just improve the efficiency of how we use our PCs, the savings in energy costs would be over $3 billion dollars! The CO2 emissions from just 15 computers are equivalent in energy terms to the gas consumption used by one car.”

Many IT Departments request that employees not turn off PCs so they can do maintenance after hours. Organizatoins should look into Verdiem’s SURVEYOR software, which is a comprehensive power-management solution for networked PCs. It enables IT administrators to reduce energy consumption by an average of 250 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per PC annually, saving an average of $20 to $60 per PC, simply by moving PCs into lower power settings when not in use. Most organizations see a pay back within 6 to 18 months and reduce their energy cost, and carbon footprint significantly every year. Check it out! www.verdiem.com
