battery modes.
To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-power Sleep Mode
which shuts down the system and display within 15 minutes of inactivity in AC
power mode. We recommend that you leave this and other energy saving features
active, so that your computer will operate at its maximum energy efficiency. You
can wake the computer from Sleep Mode by pressing the power button.
According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY STAR specifications
will use between 20% and 50% less energy depending on how it is used. If all
U.S. household and businesses replaced old computers with new ENERGY STAR
qualified models, we would save more than $1.8 billion in energy costs over the
next five years and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 2.7
million cars.
If every computer purchased by businesses next year met the new ENERGY
STAR requirements, businesses would save more than $210 million over the
lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to lighting 120 million square feet of
U.S. commercial building space each year.
