| Electrical energy is a lifeblood to libraries. It powers our computers, scanners, printers, copy machines, and a seemingly endless number of items. With the near unrestricted access to this critical resource, though, also comes the responsibility to be good stewards and to promote conservation. This presentation will describe how one library conducted a mini-study of the electrical energy requirements for its computers and support equipment. With the support of inexpensive and commercially available test devices, the study evaluated each different mode of equipment readiness. The energy consumption results were then analyzed and applied to the institution’s electrical kilowatt-hour rate schedule to highlight comparison information. Join the discussion in this engaging presentation and learn more about the potential conservation applications! |
