Aberdeen-based Carbon Control Software (CCS) has pioneered a windows-based programme which will automatically apply energy-saving procedures to a computer network during periods of inactivity.
Businesses will be able to monitor how much energy they are saving as CCS will provide reports based on recorded data which will document usage and savings across each department. A recent report found that computers which are left on for sustained periods of inactivity could be responsible for up to 10 per cent of the UK’s total energy consumption. Estimates suggest that everyone in Scotland using CCS at home and at work could save the equivalent of taking 100,000 cars off the road.
Stephen Grant, director and founder of CCS, said: “Our climate is changing and this innovative system will allow businesses to take a significant step in responding to the growing needs and concerns of our impact on the environment, whilst reducing energy bills.”
