Save energy costs by turning computers and peripherals off rather than leaving them on standby
Filed Under Green Tips | Trackback
Another tip that involves turning electronic equipment off rather than leaving it on standby. After you have shutdown the computer, most likely it is still using a small amount of power. For example, whilst you monitor appears to have turned off, is there still a small light glowing? If so then the monitor is not really off and is still using power. Of course, shutting down your computer when you are not using it is still better than leaving it on all the time as this draws even more power. Don’t be lazy, don’t think you are too important to spend the couple of minutes waiting for it to shutdown before pulling the plug.
