Eco Button – Auto Shut Down PC’s and Lap Tops

Did you know?
Computers and monitors can account for half of the electricity used in a typical office or school.

How does the Eco Button work?

The ecobutton™ is an illuminating USB device that acts as a reminder and a prompt for the user to press the ecobutton™ at every opportunity whenever the computer is going to be left idle. This could be from taking a phone call or break, to doing paperwork or going to lunch and meetings where otherwise the computer would normally be left on. This is because people generally do not like turning off their computers because of the time it often takes to restart. When the ecobutton™ is pressed it engages the computer into energy saving ‘ecomode’. This ensures that both the computer and monitor are set to operate in the most efficient, lowest power mode available, which actually draws only the same nominal power as when the computer and monitor are turned off! When you need to use the computer again, simply press any key to instantly return to where you left off!

The savings
The amount of energy that a computer and monitor use varies depending on its age, model, and the programmes and applications in use. A PC switched on 8 hours a day engaging ‘ecomode’ for 3 hours could save around £50 in electricity cost per year. If the PC is left on overnight the saving could be £100 or more – or the equivalent of 600kgs of CO2. Indirect savings can be made with air conditioning systems as they do not have to work so hard because less heat is generated from computers actively using the ecobutton™. Because the ecobutton™ stays illuminated even during ecomode, this can provide a useful reminder that all uneccessary computers, lighting, heating and air conditioning etc… should be be switched off at the end of the day.

Whether you save a lot or a little, you can be assured that by using ecobutton™ you will be making a difference.

Want to keep up to date whilst on the move? The Spin even includes a quality stereo FM radio, and you can even record your favourite shows to enjoy later.
