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.
Free software provided by the EPA automatically puts monitors to
rest when not in use - saving a significant amount
of energy and money. What's more, monitor power management will
not affect computer or network performance. A simple touch
of the mouse or keyboard "wakes" the machine within seconds.
