IT Greening Computer Power Consumption Study Christian Grieco Time Warner Cable

Purpose of Study Ascertain an estimate of expenditure on electricity to power staff computer infrastructure Determine $ savings potential in implementing various measures to improve efficiency without affecting productivity

DOE & EPA Computer Electricity Research $25 - $75 savings per computer per year 39% of computers in businesses are left powered on overnight and weekends Study translates to savings of $13,750 - $41,250 yearly on DESKTOPS alone Laptop savings not estimated as part of this study

Estimate of PC Inventory 550 Desktops 420 Laptops 750 Flat Screen monitors ? CRT monitors 550 Desktops 420 Laptops 750 Flat Screen monitors ? CRT monitors

Methodology Use Kill A Watt device to measure actual electricity consumption of desktop and laptop computer Measure usage no power savings 24 hours no power savings 8.5 hours power savings 24 hours power savings 8.5 hours
