Save Electricity, Use ultra portable laptop computers!

Laptop computers save electricity over desktop units. I have switched my business over to laptops entirely and plan to switch my small business server over in the next year or so. The electrical savings is amazing. I estimate my savings are between 25 to 50% per month at least. The laptops plus LCD monitors create a great package which also operate much cooler, hence less air conditioning.

Shown below are some electrical facts as well as a simple instrument that can literally save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in a year.

What is a Watt?

WATT is defined as the mks unit of electrical power equal to one joule per second or to the power developed in a circuit by a current of one ampere flowing through a potential difference of one volt; 1/746 of a horsepower.

BTU is defined as a unit of heat equal to about  252 calories; quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.

Each watt of power consumed is actually transformed into BTUs (British Thermal Units) of heat. Multiply the number of watts by 3.41 to determine the number of BTUs.

The portion of GOOGLE HQ's total electrical needs to be supplied by the panels (Not including data centers): 30%

How much more electricity a data center consumes compared to an office: 10X

The approximate number of homes that can be powered by 1.6 megawatts: 1,000

Save Energy by replacing your desktop with a Laptop Computer!!!

Energy prices are at an all time high. Typically laptop computers save electricity over their desktop counterparts. According to the typical wattage requirements given in The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy by Dan Chiras, ISBN 0-86571-536-x ($27.95) , a laptop computer uses 20 to 50 watts and a desktop uses 80 to 150 watts. This is a savings of 25 to 30 percent. You will save many times the cost of this meter.
