Figures are based on: a new PC and LCD monitor drawing 75 watts, a 10 hour working day, 11 public holidays, and 4 weeks leave. Older Hardware is less energy efficient, and you may be paying more for your power.

A typical desktop wastes more than half the power it draws from the power outlet.
IDC Research

Research shows that across major economies, energy losses occur simply through people failing to power down their PC’s when they leave work, or during weekends and holidays. 

The cost of power has risen steadily in the last ten years, with some spectators saying electricity prices are set to triple in the next 10 years there has never been a better time to look at ways to save power.

The Greenkeeper™ is a business smart application which simplifies the power consumption issue without compromising the business, the user or IT.

By implementing The Greenkeeper™ you will instantly save up to 70% of your IT energy costs, giving a dramatic impact to your bottom line.

The IT Industry is currently creating a larger carbon footprint than the Aviation Industry
Gartner

2% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from computers, and idle desktops are a major contributor to the problem. 

There is no question that computing power comes at an environmental cost. But there is no good reason for idle desktops to contribute to the problem. The savings you can gain from using The Greenkeeper™ are great and instant. For example implementing The Greenkeeper™ across New Zealand Government has the same carbon effect as taking 10,000 mid sized cars off the road.

In New Zealand a desktop computer can create an additional 114kg of carbon emissions per annum through poor power management. In Austrailia that figure rockets to 455kg per pc per year.

In the UK, poor corporate PC Management accounts for an estimated £300 million per year in wasted energy, 1.3 million tonnes of CO2 are emitted as a result.

In the US, $2.8 billion is spent on wasted energy and 20 million tonnes of CO2 per year are generated, that is the equivalent of the whole of Estonia’s CO2 emissions. If as a nation the US addressed this problem it would have the same effect as taking 4 million cars off the road.
