Climate Savers Low Carbon IT Savings Calculator
Power management is one of the fastest, easiest and highest-impact green IT strategies. In most cases, the PCs in your offices already have some power management solutions built-in; all it takes is activating them to start seeing the savings.
Started by Google and Intel in 2007, the Climate Savers Computing
Initiative is a nonprofit group of eco-conscious consumers, businesses
and conservation organizations. The Initiative was started in the
spirit of WWF’s Climate Savers program which has mobilized over a dozen
companies since 1999 to cut carbon dioxide emissions, demonstrating
that reducing emissions is good business. The goal is to promote
development, deployment and adoption of smart technologies that can
both improve the efficiency of a computer’s power delivery and reduce
the energy consumed when the computer is in an inactive state.
This Low Carbon IT Savings Calculator is a simple spreadsheet from the EPA that lets you estimate the savings from using Energy Star certified computers and activing power management software on those computers.
