Very useful information, indeed

[Guest guest]

Most of us in the IT field, used to do one thing before leaving for

the day from office, Press Ctrl+Alt+ Del and leave to home happily.

That means your PC is still on.

 

One normal PC in the sleeping mode (Hibernation) will consume 35

watts/hr.

 

Based on this we will do a small calculation.

 

For one week 24 * 7 = 168 Hrs

 

Of this if we consider that we are working for 68 hours, then

the PC is in sleeping mode for 100 Hrs a week. For one month 4 * 100

= 400 Hrs

 

In a normal IT office, if we assume approximately 250 PCs are there,

250 * 400 = 1,00,000 Hrs (Sleeping Mode)

 

So the power wasted in an office in a month is,

100000 * 35 = 3500 KWH or units.

 

If the charge per unit is Indian Rs. 6, then totally the wastage

value is approximately 21000 Indian rupees.

 

Here the sad thing is not the money loss to the company but the power

loss to the country. (Hope no company is bothered about this

procedure of keeping the system in sleeping mode)

 

Apart from the loss to the country we need to think of the efforts

people are putting for producing the power in the Mines, Thermal

Stations, Hydro electric Stations, etc. If this is to continue, the

cost of unit power will go up & at one stage we will not get power

even if we are ready to pay any cost.

 

So before leaving to home take some time to shut down the PC and do

some favour to the country and the organisation.

 

If you feel that this point is to be considered forward this to all

your friends.
