Item | Effect | Note |
---|---|---|
Computer + Monitor Average power usage |
160W = 120W(computer) + 40W(monitor) |
- |
Consumption of Electricity when using Green Touch |
Less than 1W = about 0.1W(computer) + about 0.6W(monitor) |
If using the maximum sleep mode |
Power Savings per hour | 159Wh = 160Wh - 1Wh |
- |
Power Savings per day | 477Wh(0.477kWh) = 159Wh x for 3times |
If used three times a day |
Annual Power Savings | 114.48kWh = 0.477kWh x for 240 days |
Annual average of the number of days attended = 240days |
Annual Carbon Savings | 48.53kg = 0.424kg-CO2 x 114.48kWh |
Carbon emissions per kW = 0.424kg-CO2 / kW |
Annual Carbon Savings | 1.45 million tons = 48.53kg-CO2 x 3,000 million |
Number of computers nationwide = about 30 million |
Annual Carbon Savings Nationwide | 3.4 billion kWh = 114.48kWh x 3,000 million |
Number of computers nationwide = about 30 million |
