Information given by our former President Mr. Abdul Kalam

Most of us in the IT field/ offices, used to do one thing before leaving
for the day from office, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and leave to home happily.

That means your PC is still on..

One normal PC in the sleeping mode (Hibernation) will consume 35 watts/hr.

The information given below is really very important. This will definitely help to some extent to achieve the target set by our former President Mr. Abdul Kalam .

Based on this we will do a small calculation.
For one week 24 * 7 = 168 Hrs

Of this if we consider that we are working for 68 hours, then
the PC is in sleeping mode for 100 Hrs a week. For one month 4 * 100 =
400 Hrs

In a normal IT office, if we assume approximately 250 PCs are
there, 250 * 400 = 1,00,000 Hrs (Sleeping Mode)

So the power wasted in an office in a month is 100000 * 35 =
3500 KWH or units.

If the charge per unit is IRs. 6, then totally the wastage value
is approximately 21000 Indian rupees.

Here the sad thing is not the money loss to the company but the
power loss to the country. (Hope no company is bothered about this
procedure of keeping the system in sleeping mode)

Apart from the loss to the country we need to think of the
efforts people are putting for producing the power in the Mines, Thermal
Stations, Hydro electric Stations, etc. If this is to continue, the cost
of unit power will go up & at one stage we will not get power even if we
are ready to pay any cost.

So before leaving home take some time to shut down the PC and
do some favour to the country and the organisation.
