Washington, Feb 6 : Large organisations can now save up to 13,000 pounds in electricity costs each month, all thanks to PowerDown, a computer programme that automatically shuts down systems after usage.
Systems experts at University of Liverpool embarked upon the idea of developing the software after realising that universities with PC centres in 24-hour libraries could be losing more than one million hours of unused computer power each month.
They found that 1,600 library-based PC''s alone were using 20,000 kW each week unnecessarily, which make up for approximately 2,400 pounds in current electricity prices.
And, to date, PowerDown has recovered 24 million hours of PC inactivity within the University.
