Even if you’re already turning off the PCs at night, reducing energy use during the day by 50% on 10,000 PCs could save your organisation over $900,000 per year and reduce the amount of CO2 released into the environment by over 3,078,000 Kg*.Consider the case where a PC is on 24 hours per day, but used for only eight hours. The baseline efficiency is 33%, with significant potential savings of energy and carbon emissions.

Likewise, PCs that are off overnight, but left running without active users during business hours, offer similar economic and environmental gains.

Empower Your StaffEmpowering staff to manage their individual environmental impact in the workplace has been shown to be effective, and to have long-lasting effects including improved morale and performance in the workplace.

Greentrac™ Office engages staff by providing relevant and timely data to them, and supports individual behaviour changes that have positive energy, cost and environmental impact for your organisation. It provides people with feedback about their own computer use, and allows them to take responsibility for their office environmental footprint.

Greentrac™ examines the configuration of each PC including peripherals and other devices as well as CPU activity, Memory and Disk I/O when calculating the Power consumption for the Workstation.

Key Product CapabilitiesKey capabilities of the Greentrac™ Office include:

� High-performance, real-time analysis of your PC fleet’s energy consumption, associated costs and environmental impact.

� An intuitive portal interface showing users the environmental consequence of their use and providing options for them to change.

� An optional infrastructure control panel (hibernate, shut down, or wake up) to optimise energy cost outcomes.

Each staff member is given an individual energy efficiency rating for the workstations they use, and can compare it to the whole organisation’s energy efficiency.

Each staff member is given an individual energy efficiency rating for all the workstations they use, they can compare this to the organisation’s overall Energy Efficiency.

Key Solution BenefitsKey benefits of the Greentrac™ Office include:

� Enabling real-time, continuous accounting for PC energy consumption, cost and environmental impact.

� Providing data from which PC utilisation, energy costs, and environmental impact can be optimised within an organisation.

� Delivering a personal point for staff engagement on sustainability issues.

Return on Investment PropositionUnlike most IT Investments Greentrac™ produces a true calculable ROI based on real data that has been collected from your PC Fleet. In most cases the ROI period is between 6 and 9 months.

Greentrac™ will calculate the total amount of Power and the costs of running your PC Fleet. It also shows you the Potential Saving which could have been realised had workstations been used more efficiently. Greentrac™ also shows how much energy, money and carbon has been saved by users being more efficient.

Energy $8,152.24

Potential Savings $3,101.01

CO2 Savings 432 Kg

Cost Savings $801.15

Extensions and IntegrationGreentrac™ can be integrated with existing building management systems, so that when an employee enters the building using their security card, their PC can be started automatically. When the user arrives at their desk they are ready to login and work.

For example, Greentrac™ can use electrical sub metering in buildings to monitor power consumption, costs, and emissions of air conditioning, lighting, and power outlets, or offer specific support for data centre environments.
