  • Schools learn to slash energy use by 25%

    Schools are normally the ones dishing out the lessons – but three secondary schools in Portugal’s capital city (pictured) have been taught how to cut their energy use by a quarter.

    The saving was part of a pilot project to control and monitor energy use at the Lisbon schools which are made up of ten buildings and serve 3,600 students and staff.

  • Firms turn to I.T. to track energy consumption, cut costs

    Employees at the National Institutes of Health are expected to set their computers on standby when they leave work at the end of each day. If they don’t, a piece of software automatically does it for them.

    IT officials said the policy saves the agency $19 per computer per year. That may seem like a sliver of the budget, but when multiplied by more than 25,000 terminals, it puts a noticeable dent in expenses.

  • Printers, PCs Hog Energy at Enterprises

    Information Technology (IT) devices consume more than 25 percent of the energy in most buildings, according to Energy Star’s “Fast Facts on Energy Use,” and within the IT devices bucket, PCs are the biggest draws on plug loads, while printers often waste energy as well, says Verdiem, which makes products to reduce these loads.

  • Energy Efficiency For Business: Don’t Forget Potential Savings Sitting In Front Of You

    According to The Carbon Trust, UK businesses are wasting as much as 30 percent of the energy they pay for, and that’s a significant bottom line issue for organisations of all sizes. One of the key culprits here is office equipment – second only to heating and cooling – particularly PCs that are estimated to account for 30 percent of IT energy use in most organisations. With energy costs likely to continue rising, the operational cost of running IT will become even more significant.

  • Printer analyzer can keep energy phantoms at bay

    The federal government has been concerned with the costs of phantom power in IT devices for years. Back in 2001, President George Bush ordered agencies to slay what he called energy vampires, eliminating devices that used up too much standby power.

    But like any good villain from a monster movie, government’s energy vampires were not so easily dispatched. In fact, it's possible that they have grown over the years.
