ENERGY STAR
QUALIFIED COMPUTERS OVERVIEW
♦ Depending on usage, an ENERGY STAR qualified computer will use up to 50% less energy.
♦ Your office can save up to $90 per monitor per year by enabling computer and monitor’s ENERGY STAR power
management features.
♦ $1 billion annually in energy costs would be saved if every desktop and monitor in U.S. was set to sleep when not in
use; while avoiding greenhouse gases comparable to emissions of 1 million cars.
ENERGY STAR POWER MANAGEMENT:
♦ ENERGY STAR power management features:
o Standard in all Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
o After periods of inactivity places computers and monitors into low-power mode.
♦ To maximize savings EPA recommends:
o Standby mode after 30-60 minutes of inactivity.
o Sleep after 5-20 minutes of inactivity.
♦ By activating ENERGY STAR power management features you can quickly and easily save energy, money, and help
protect your environment.
ENERGY STAR COMPLIANCE:
Certain configurations of EverServ6000 Systems meet the terms with the requirements set by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for energy-efficient computers. If the front of your system shows the ENERGY STAR logo, the system is
configured and meets with the requirements; ENERGY STAR power management features are automatically enabled.
NOTE:
If your EverServ has the ENERGY STAR logo It has been determined by PAR, as an ENERGY STAR partner,
that your system complies with the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
NOTE: When shipped all PAR systems showing the ENERGY STAR logo are certified to meet with
EPA ENERGY STAR requirements. Changes made to your system configuration may increase
power usage beyond limits set by EPA’s ENERGY STAR Computers program.
ENERGY STAR Logo:
The EPA’s ENERGY STAR Computers program, with the joint effort of computer manufacturers and the Environmental
Protection Agency, aims to reduce air pollution by encouraging energy-efficient computer systems. ENERGY STAR computer
product usage is estimated by the EPA to save computer users up to two billion dollars a year in electricity. This reduces the
emissions of carbon dioxide, the gas primarily responsible for the greenhouse effect, and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides,
which are the primary causes of acid rain. As a user you can help reduce the electricity use including its side effects by shutting
down your computer when it is not in use, nights and weekends.
