One computer left on 24 hours a day dumps 1655 kgs of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.
Green is on everyone's mind and rightfully so.
Once thought of as a "nice to have", Global Warming and spiralling energy costs have urged us to seriously look at ways we can effectively analyse everyday use of technology in regards to consuming energy and emitting harmful by-products into the environment.
InControl Technology, a leader in innovative technology solutions in Asset Intelligence, is taking the lead in insuring any organization can participate in "Green" benefits, by measuring and gauging its Information Technology in the introduction of EnergyControl, by:
InControl has designed a sophisticated and simple calculator in order to analyse your IT environment to produce a report on the energy and costs savings. This will also allow you to see the reduction in CO2 gases by implementing EnergyControl.

Consumption and Emission Facts:
How much power does a PC use?
Think of your computer as a 300 watt light bulb. Based on 1000 PCs if they were always left on, the utility cost would be $AUD 678* per day or $AUD 247,558* per year. With Energy Control you could save $190,619 ($AUD) annually.

Facts:
Isn't it true that turning your computer off and on can harm it? The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory states that modern hard disks are not affected by frequent shut-downs and that equipment may actually last longer because mechanical wear and heat stress are reduced. If you turned off your computers during non-business hours (based on an 8 hour work day and 250 workdays / year) you could save $703 per day.
Is there another alternative to turning it off and on all the time? If you have an "Energy Star" compliant monitor, it should be set to "low power stand-by." You specify the number of minutes of inactivity that results in the monitor changing to low-power standby mode. Any key will reactivate the screen. This reduces the power consumption of the monitor by approximately 80%. All newer computers purchased should have this feature. On old monitors, turning the monitor off is advisable or upgrading to an LCD monitor. There is no downside to turning off your monitor with or without the CPU on.
How about servers etc? Do not turn off servers, communications equipment (routers, hubs, modem racks, etc.), surge protectors, UPS units, or workstations relating to network-based automated applications (i.e. your attendance, scanning, and query of workstations; or your volume network and mainframe printers). Core networking equipment should be left on at all times.
What about Screen Savers? Despite the name, screen savers don't save anything, especially not power. Turn off your monitor if you are not using your computer for more than 15 minutes.
How is InControl helping? InControl Technology is offering a way to understand your complete IT Environment and better understand "your" impact to the problem. With iScanner, InControl's award winning agent-less discovery and inventory and the MasterControl console, you can monitor all your IT devices connected to your network(s). Once all the data is gathered without any end-user interaction, the Business Logic Technology built into the solution will analyse and process the data into concise reports with actionable itemized lists.
Technology Refresh: InControl will provide you with the ability to look at older workstations and servers to understand all the systems that could be upgraded to more power efficient and more powerful systems. InControl will help you document where consolidation in the data centre and workstations can be applied without affecting your user community, by identifying all underutilized systems in use.
InControl can also provide valuable information about system configuration, in which idle system can be set to turn-off or suspend until the user returns and requires access to the system/workstation. Hard drives can be automatically turned off when the system does not require access and Energy Star monitors can be set to automatically go into power saving mode. InControl provides reports and graphs to let you know where you can address and reduce your power. Examples include; letting you know about all CRT versus LCD monitors (CRT uses 4 times the amount of power for the same screen size) and where laptops or energy efficient workstations can replace workstations / desktops (most laptops use 60% less power than desktops). InControl's iScanner can also be pro-active, by scanning at night and using Smart Technology to "turn off" or shutdown all workstations and desktops to conserve power. Again, all leveraging InControl's agent-less technology - this means the ability to perform all this work with very little overhead or personnel.
