Most office environments still do not control energy waste, in spite of the high cost of electricity. In fact, most employees do not turn off their computers or peripherals when they go home for the night, or even when they leave for the weekend. One reason is that people do not like to wait for a computer to reboot every morning. Most offices are not even occupied more than 50 hours per week, which means that energy is being wasted the other 118 hours per week, more than two-thirds of the time.
