Look for the ENERGY STAR label on any new computer equipment you purchase. The ENERGY STAR label identifies efficient PCs, monitors, printers, faxes, and copiers. Current specifications set maximum annual energy consumption levels accounting for all operating modes as well as requirements for power management features. Remember, power management features for your computer and monitor must be enabled to save energy. Use the Enervee Score to identify the most efficient laptops, non-expandable desktop computers, and monitors.
Fortunately, any increase in household energy use when you work at home is usually made up for by reduced energy use for transportation. In fact, the trend toward more home offices could have a significant impact on energy use for commuting.
