Computers

An ENERGY STAR qualified computer uses 70% less electricity than computers without enabled power management features.

• If left inactive, ENERGY STAR qualified computers enter a low-power mode and use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years ago.

• Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.

• Businesses that use ENERGY STAR enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.

• Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR qualified equipment in a single home office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.

Remember, saving energy prevents pollution.
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution.
