Energy Savings
Computer Power Management
|
|
As a technology school
our computer equipment has become a major consumer of energy on campus.
Energy savings will be a cost savings for the college. We would like to
make the following recommendations:
|
Office Computers:

Instructions for Manually Setting Power
Management:

government’s Energy Star website)
FAQ
from the Department of Energy
|
- Users should set their monitors to use
the power saving mode rather than screen savers during normal work
hours. This is accomplished by customizing the desktop and
changing the power saving options in Windows. Please choose
from the appropriate Energy Star links to the right for step-by-step
instructions for your operating systems. Once you have followed
these instructions, if you still have questions, please feel free to
call the HelpDesk.
|
- Additionally, users are asked to turn
off their computer (including monitor) every night. Automatic
anti-virus updates etc. will need to be scheduled during your normal workday.
|
|
Computer Labs:
|
- All computer labs on campus should use
power saving mode rather than screen savers on the monitors.
|
- The college will not expect lab
computers to be turned off overnight.
