How much money and electricity will it save? |
Each implementation of the USB EcoStrip 2.0 will save you between $1 and $100 per year per workstation depending on your configuration and down time. The deregulation of the Electric power markets may cause substantial electricity price increases over the next few years creating a larger savings. On average it will cut between 7%-12% off your IT related electric bill.
Consider how many printers, scanners, speakers, monitors, paper shredders, CD burners, DVD burners, backup drives, external hard drives, chargers, space heaters, fans, gaming consoles and any variety of other computer devices or gadgets people have connected to their computer. Also, remember that during hot days your Air Conditioning won't have to work as hard because all the heat emitted from computers and related peripherals will be eliminated.
The implementation of a USB EcoStrip 2.0 corporate wide or even on an individual basis at home will encourage awareness and personal action. Anyone that lives a green lifestyle can confirm that in many cases it was one small action that got them on the road to a drastic eco lifestyle change. These changes occur because people start to feel good about being more environmentally aware and in most cases it leads to even greater change. Wherever possible, we need to promote action to help preserve our environment, conserve energy, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Watts is a measure of power (technically, Joules/second) analogous to speed (miles/hour). So you need to convert the power into energy (like speed into distance). Here's an easy conversion factor: if a device draws 1 watt constantly for a year, then its energy consumption was 9 kWh. That corresponds to about $1.00. So, when the chart says 5 watts, that's 5 x 9 = 45 kWh/year = $5/year. You'll quickly see that almost any single device consumes very little in annual electricity use but, when multiplied by 40+ products, the sum is significant.

What exactly is standby power and why is it necessary? |
Most experts agree that standby power is electricity used by appliances and equipment while they are switched off or not performing their primary function. That power is consumed by power supplies (the black cubes-sometimes called "vampires"-converting AC into DC), the circuits and sensors needed to receive a remote signal, soft keypads and displays including miscellaneous LED status lights. Standby power use is also caused by circuits that continue to be energized even when the device is "off".
