Your PC Can Be Energy Saving Too


Let's start with some simple maths...
250/1000 x 8 = 2
450/1000 x 8 = 3.6

Next question is what do these numbers refer to?
Kilowatt-hours, that unit of energy measurement seen at the bottom of your electricity bill. Usually noted as kwh or kw/h. Kilowatt-hours cost you money and so obviously the lowest amount the better. The numbers above refer to PCs, 250 referring to 250 watts of a typical small form factor PC and 450 watts for a typical mid-tower PC.

If you are wondering just how much your PC actually costs to run a year then you need to apply the rate from your electricity company.

In this example, Fred Smith, a typical home worker, uses a mid-tower PC at his home office for eight hours a day. Fred's working year consists of 240 working days and he pays £0.137 for each kilowatt-hour of electricity. Over the course of the year that works out as an awful lot of kilowatt-hours, to be precise:-

 450 watts to kilowatts is simply 450 / 1000 = 0.45 kilowatts

kilowatts to kilowatt-hours is simply obtained by multiplying by hours

so in Fred's example it is 0.45 x 8 (hours) x 240 (days) = 864 kw/h

which in turn costs Fred... 864 x 0.137 = £118.37 a year to run

A fair bit of money. Just imagine that you are an accountant of a fairly large city business and you have 300 mid-towers, well that's £35511 or in other words one (or even two people's) salary. Now let's say that you want to do something about it, the electricity company is about to raise their kw/h rate and you don't want to be paying for some electricity manager's next handsome bonus.

Energy saving PCs - now there's a thought, surely it's not just light bulbs that can be energy saving? Your rival's electricity bill for his 300 workstations is £789.12. Surely not? Pure fiction you say. But no, your rival is ahead of the game in the energy saving PC field. He has done his homework and yes, his electricity bill is 1/45th of yours. Hang on, 1/45th, as in 10 watts to run a PC? You're having a laugh mate! No, he's not. His energy saving PC's consume just 10 watts of electricity per user.

So what are you going to do with your £34721.88 yearly saving? A pat on the back? A grandiose Christmas staff party or how about reinvesting that saving into company development?

The Energy Saving PC is not pure fiction, it's a reality. Ten watts per user is perfectly achievable in 2012 and it is being achieved. Here's the recipe, get one PC made of aluminium and just 11cm square. This PC, the Xi3 Modular Computer runs on just 20 watts, not 10 watts no. Simply add into the mix, Xi3's TAND3M software and suddenly your 20 watt energy saving PC turns itself into two energy saving PCs. One Xi3 Modular Computer, two keyboards, two mice, two screens and two users. The result one low electricity bill and one happy accountant.
