General Information
LSU is pleased to announce an
exciting new undertaking that will significantly lower our energy
usage. Recently, we completed a highly successful test of
innovative software that drastically reduces the amount of energy
used by our computers. The software manages the individual PC power
settings based on criteria we set specifically for our campus.
Automatically, the software manages this defined power plan.
Our test of the software resulted in
savings of $20 per computer. Expanding the program to the 6,000
machines that are on the LSU domain will result in reduced energy
usage and increased energy savings. We expect a three year savings
of up to $350,000, reducing carbon emissions equivalent to taking
more than 1,620 cars off the road.
Background Information
We want to do our part to reduce
carbon emissions while significantly reducing operating
expenses.
