PC power consumption:
Does it really matter?

• More than 30 billion kilowatt-hours of energy worldwide is wasted because many of us simply forget to shut down our computers when we aren't using them.
• If we could just improve the efficiency of how we use our PCs, the savings in energy costs would be in excess of $4.5 billion!
• The CO2 emissions from just 15 computers are equivalent in energy terms to the gas consumption used by one car. A barrel of oil contains 159 litres and produces an average 556 kilowatt hours of electrical power.
• Now consider your computer. A good spec PC can use up to 200 watts per hour including the TFT screen. So your system is consuming over 1 kWh of power for every five hours of normal use.
• If you leave your computer on 24/7, that's the equivalent of a whole barrel of oil every 90 days!
• If you optimize your computer with power saving features and power down when you are not using it you could extend this to over six months!
• Remember, if you leave the PC on with just a screen saver, a TFT monitor will still use up to 200 watts per hour of completely wasted power: power that pumps out 0.7Kgs of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere for every kWh.
• If left on for 24 hours that's 4Kgs of CO2 every day. That's more than 1.5 tons of CO2 thrown up into the atmosphere just to keep your one single PC working!
• Millions of computers are left switched on 24 hours a day doing absolutely nothing for most of the time… except using CO2 emitting power.
• And there are more than 660,000,000 PCs in the world today, which is still less than 10% of the world's population!
• Today's waste of 30 billion kilowatt-hours of energy every year is responsible for putting 30 billion kilograms of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.
• This figure could double within five years if we don't improve the power efficiency of the way we use our PCs, which is why it is so important to use the Local Cooling software supplied with your system today!
