Most of us in the IT field, before leaving for the day from office, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and leave for home happily.
That means your PC is still on.
One normal PC in the sleeping mode (Hybernation) will consume 35 watts/hr. (approx.)
Based on this ...........
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.
Important thing is not the monetary loss to the company but the power loss to the country. Do think about the efforts utilized for producing the power in the Mines, Thermal Stations, Hydro electric Stations, etc. If it continues, the cost of unit power will shoot up & at one stage we will not get power even if we are ready to pay a higher price.
So before you leave for home spare few moments to shut down the PC . Help the company and country by saving electricity , may be by this we may over come acute power shortages during
