Here’s a useful tool for calculating the carbon, energy and cost impacts of printing solutions. As we know printing volumes on campus are enormous – and enormously wasteful. This calculator helps you calculate the environmental and cost impact, obviously shows the savings and lower impacts to be realised with HP gear, and compares their solutions with those of competitors. What is really nice is that it can be localised for South African Rands and energy costs.

Activating Power Management on PCs saves money
Thursday, February 5th, 2009Gartner has published an article that shows that by simply activating power management on PCs, an organisation of 2500 PCs can save 43% of the power consumed by those PCs (433 MWh), which translates to an annual saving of about R240 000 in South African terms. Furthermore, planned Eskom tariff increases will escalate these savings rapidly. (more…)
