Eco Button

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 effi cient, 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.

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

Did you know?
Computers and monitors can account for half of the electricity used in a typical offi ce. A single monitor left switched on overnight can use the same energy as a laser printer producing 800 A4 printed copies, - and don't be fooled by a screensaver as the computer is still working at full power to run this!

There are some 10m office PCs in Britain and 1.8m are regularly left on overnight or all weekend, according to a recent study on energy wastage. This means that around 1.5 billion kWh of energy is wasted by computers and monitors being left on that's approximately 115million wasted in the UK every year! Convert this into carbon and we waste around 7000,000 tonnes of carbon because of workers not switching off computers and monitors in the UK (that's 10% of the UK climate change levy target)!

The ecobutton is RoHS compliant and manufactured from recycled plastic. It is a retrofit device so that it will work on any PC currently running Windows 2000, XP and Vista 32 bit, and regardless of how energy effi cient your IT system may be, the ecobutton will contribute to further savings.
With an estimated growth of computer usage of around 40% by 2020, isn?t it about time we all took some action to deal with this growing problem?
