Average 65 watts for 1 computer (while idle) 8760 hours in a year - 2000 (hours you are at work) = 6760 (hours you are not at work per year) 65 watts * 6760 hours / 1000 = 439.4 kilowatt-hours 439.4 * $.119 (RATE) = $52.29 (cost per year of one computer being on while you are not there) -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 3:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: WOL cost savings On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 10:45, Christopher Bodnar <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anyone put something together to show management in regards to the > possible ROI of using WOL?
