- Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to explore the area surrounding computer energy
consumption. After reviewing general background on related fields we
measured energy consumption among different computers and monitors. Based
on the results we constructed a survey aimed at Swedish schools. Using a
quantitative approach we draw some conclusions, a majority of the respondents
lacked someone responsible of shutting down computers after hours; even more
lacked a tool to do so. With the help of our survey result we demonstrate how
organization could reduce energy waste and receive financial benefits, with a
minimal effort. To enhance the power management in an environment with
computer networks we introduced related techniques and describe how they... (More) - The purpose of this study is to explore the area surrounding computer energy

operate. We then suggest a centralized solution based on open source. Our
intention is to provide references and discuss several of the open source
implementations that freely exist. (Less)
