Reduce the Energy Used By Your Computer

Bill Weihl, Green Energy Czar at Google, suggests the following ways that will help reduce the energy used by your computer, such as:

  • turn on the power management features. Virtually all computers today have the ability to switch into low-power modes automatically when they’re idle; very few computers have this capability enabled!
  • turn off your monitor and computer when you’re not using them
  • turn down the brightness on your monitor
  • make sure your next computer meets the efficiency standards of Climate Savers Computing (an efficient computer uses up to 50% less energy than a conventional one)
  • to find the most efficient PCs available today, look for the words “EnergyStar 4.0 compliant.” Link.
