Fact: Your computer monitor consumes significant amounts of energy
even when the screen saver is operating. In fact, more often than not, a screen
saver will not only draw power from the monitor, but will also keep the CPU from
powering down.
Cut energy waste from your
monitor by 60-80%.
Automatically power down when not
in use.
Lower your air conditioning costs
resulting from the heat output of your monitor.
Save an average of $20 per year
per monitor.
Best Features: Monitors left on around the clock will run up your electric
bill, suck in dust, and make your monitor more vulnerable to power surges.
Reduce these risks and save energy by...
Selecting models with multiple
power management features.
Choosing a monitor that will
automatically return to active mode with a keystroke or mouse click.
Get a model with an environmental
sensor to optimize the power consumption.
Simplify your energy and
money-saving choices by choosing an Energy Star®-labeled monitor.
Save Money: A monitor with a power management feature is not a
guarantee that your machine is saving energy. It must be enabled. Monitors
without the power management option enabled use 60-80% more electricity. Do
this:
Always check to ensure that
the Energy Star® features are enabled.
Experiment with your delay
setting to accomplish the shortest possible time that is acceptable before
your monitor automatically goes to sleep or powers down.
Turn your monitor off at
night, on weekends, and even during the day when it is not being used for an
extended period.
Replaces light switches in offices, conference room,
restrooms and more.
Also available in "switchless" and vandal-resistant designs.
Sensor lights reduces false on/off signals.
