| Power Up With Greener Technology Companies large and small are looking for ways to go green these days. Environmentally friendly policies not only help to reduce your carbon footprint and cut greenhouse gases, they can also cut costs. Reducing waste and energy consumption could mean big savings for your business or organization. Workplaces are huge energy consumers. Just listen to the buzz of computers, printers, copiers, fax machines and other equipment. The truth is many businesses still consume much more energy than needed. Employees often leave their computers running when they leave at night. Other equipment is also left on continuously. Most offices are occupied less than 50 hours per week, which means energy is being wasted the other 118 hours of the week, more than two-thirds of the time. UIS Technology Partners can help your company implement a green IT program that will improve the environment and your bottom line. For example, the energy saved just by turning computers off when not in use represents a significant cost savings, up to $150 a year per computer. UIS Technology Partners can automate a number of energy-saving activities so employees don’t have to be burdened with remembering to turn off equipment or print and copy on both sides. We can program computers to power down when everyone leaves at night and power up just before they return in the morning, and preset printers and copiers to print double-sided by default, reducing paper consumption. Other tips include replacing power strips with new, smart power strips that turn off peripheral devices when the main computer is shut down and optimizing energy settings that automatically put the computer in sleep mode when nobody is using it. Cloud computing is another way your company or organization could reduce its energy use. Cloud computing represents a major shift in how information is stored and applications are run. Service providers like UIS Technology Partners rent out a portion of their server space, allowing your business to expand its storage and processing capabilities without the need for new equipment that requires more power to run. These are just a few ways your business can reduce its impact on the environment while saving money. Learn ways your company can reduce waste and energy consumption.
