6. Energy Impact
Computers Consume Energy Unnecessarily
When on, computers consume ~150 Watts of power on average
A typical computer is active only 10% of the time
EPA estimates that 60% of users leave their computers on after working hours
EPA estimates savings between $25 -$75 per computer annually
The energy of 1000 PCs running every year is equivalent to:
682 tons of co2

10. Problems With Existing Solutions
Existing Solutions Are Disruptive
Computers are turned off when
background processes are running
Which causes the background jobs to be
terminated, data to be lost, patches and
updates are not delivered
Users can override OS settings
No way to centrally manage the
workstation’s power consumption
No way to report on how much
energy is consumed and/or saved
Machines that are shutdown
sometimes need to be accessed from
remote

“When we did an RFP for the software, Faronics Power Save came in on top of all the
competitors with a great set of features, within our budget, and the best bang for the
buck.”
“Since we were able to recover the cost of the software through rebates from our power
company, it was a ‘no-brainer’ that we needed to purchase Power Save. The return on
investment was immediate.”
Jean Bengfort
Director of Technology
Coeur D’Alene School District
According to ENERGY STAR Program Manager Steve Ryan, the district will save
approximately 2,193,581 kilowatt hours annually—equivalent to more than $100,000 in
annual electricity costs.
