Computer Powerdown - Cutting ICT-related Costs and Carbon in Scottish Universities and Colleges

This free event forms part of a Scottish Funding Council-supported project which is being managed by EAUC Scotland. It is aimed at further and higher education institutions, which want to take cost-effective action to reduce their ICT-related energy consumption and environmental footprint, but need hands on assistance in its implementation.

Featuring at this event is Lisa Nelson, a Principal Programmer and Analyst at the University of Liverpool, where she developed powerdown software. This has resulted in around 33,350 hours average daily downtime, annual savings of £64,000 and 500 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year. The software is free to use and is now being applied in many universities and colleges. Lisa has also worked with developers of commercial powerdown programmes and can therefore provide insights into all approaches, as well as giving expert assistance to those wishing to use her own solution.

The event will have a limited number of attendees to provide scope for detailed discussion. For more information, please see the flyer below.
