The School Department selected Jeff Stevens as Energy Manager to spearhead the school's energy saving efforts. Mr. Stevens is a great choice for his personal commitment to the issue and his education skills. Kudos to the school for their choice as well!
.Included in the article, a statement by Mr. Stevens:
"Leaving a computer on overnight, for instance, is a small thing, .... It might cost 50 cents. But when you realize there are probably 1,500 computers in the system, you're talking about hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of inefficient use. "
.
Simple math? Get out those calculators.
.
1500 computers X $.50 = $750 PER DAY
X 30 days in a month = $22,500
X 12 months = $270,000 Annual cost if every computer were left on overnight (which surely is not the case)
.
Hopefully, the School Department will make arrangements to post the information and reports so taxpayers can monitor progress and employ any cost savings techniques that are appropriate for homeowners. If we all work together and share information, we can help reduce our energy costs while still enjoying the same amenities.
