Energy Star Specification 5.0
The Energy Star specification for computers is currently under revision for version 5.0. Did you know that the new Energy Star compliant laptops and PCs actually use 15 to 25% less energy on average than the other new computers on the shelf?
If you are in the market for a new PC this holiday season, consider an Energy Star rated product. This program inspired manufacturers to produce more efficient models and, in turn, consumers and businesses are looking to save over $1.8 billion in energy costs over the next 5 years. This savings helps us all prevent greenhouse gas emissions equal to that given off from 2.7 million automobiles. Since, “teleportation devices” have no defined release date, and we all love our cars, why not dive into the conservation efforts through purchasing Energy Star toys?
