Computer Energy Saving Tips

The following energy saving tips can help reduce your overall consumption with your computer:

• Turning off your computer can save energy. If you need to leave your computer on, try just turning off the monitor. It typically uses more than half of the computer system’s energy.

• Adjust your computer's energy settings. You can consume less energy by adjusting your PC's power settings. For example, you can make sure your hard drive and monitor go into sleep mode when they're left idle for a few minutes.

• You can further save electricity by lowering the brightness of your screen.
