Green Computing - Desktop Computer Power Management at the City of Tulsa
Abstract
One type of Green Computing focuses on reducing power consumption of computers. Specialized software like 1E/Nightwatchman aids in reducing the power consumption of desktop computers by placing them in a low power state when not in use. This thesis describes the implementation of 1E/Nightwatchman power management software on two thousand desktop computers at the City of Tulsa. It shows the method used to predict power savings of 100,000.00 per year and compares the prediction to the actual savings after one year of operation.
