Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The College purchases rather than leases technology equipment in this category, except for imaging equipment.
All Dell and Apple laptop, desktop and tablets purchased are EPEAT Gold and all Dell desktop power supplies are upgraded to EPA Platinum, which are 92% efficient.
We strive to purchase environmentally friendly technology products whenever they meet our specification requirements, perform satisfactorily, and are available at a reasonably competitive price. College computers purchased from Apple and Dell are EPEAT registered desktops and laptops. Technology purchases are chosen and configured with the highest ENERGY STAR® rating whenever possible.
IT operates approximately 109 servers. As stand-alone machines with 300w power supply, these would collectively use 785kwH of electricity per day, or 286,452 kwH per year, costing the College $33,200 annually. By virtualizing or consolidating multiple servers onto a single physical server, IT only has to operate 20 servers instead of 109. This saves the College 233,892 kwH per year, or $27,100 annually. That energy reduction eliminates 161 metric tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions from the atmosphere annually. This is the equivalent annual emissions from 31 cars or 375 barrels of oil.
