Why Power Management?
•Use less electricity
oCompelling ROI, because half of energy used to power PCs is wasted
•Reducing cooling loads
oTypical office bldg with internal heat load and moderately efficient system saves an additional 15%
oIn southern climates savings can be 30% or more
•Reduce peak load demand charges
oSome utilities charge up to $200 per kW per year, many charge $150/year
oRoughly every 150 PCs or monitors power managed saves 1 kW of peak demand
•Executive Order 13423
oRequires federal agencies to activate ENERGY STAR “sleep” features on computers and monitors
•Environmental stewardship
oPrevent air pollution
oLower your carbon footprint
