 Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR
®
qualified equipment in a single home office
(e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light
an entire home for more than 4 years.
 Power management (“sleep settings”) on computers and monitors can result
in much savings annually.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management
features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air
pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower consumers’ utility bills,
and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
