PC Power Management Programs Can Reduce Computer-Related Energy Costs by 40%

Posted on: Tuesday, 26 May 2009, 15:01 CDT

Despite Proven Benefits, PC Power Management Programs Are Still Not Prevalent

NORCROSS, Ga., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PC power management programs, which enable management of PC power settings over a network, provide the ability to drastically reduce organizations' power consumption, energy costs, and carbon dioxide emissions. Numerous studies, including those from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and several private-sector organizations, indicate that up to $70 per PC can be saved each year by implementing PC power management programs. For an enterprise with 1,000 client computers, this can result in annual energy savings of $70,000.

Despite the significant savings opportunity, the vast majority of organizations are not utilizing power management capabilities and are wasting large amounts of electricity and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. According to a recent survey conducted by Forrester Research Inc., only 13% of organizations have implemented extensive power management programs while an additional 18% have set up programs for only some of their PCs.
