Create Sustainable Computer Labs

• • • Efficient Equipment
    • • Computers
    • 10. Monitors
  • 11. Printers

Social Learning

• Better management skills for Labs

12. Create better understanding of harmful energy usage

13. Developing Workshops Create Database of equipment used for each Lab

• Accessible to the Public (students)

14. Shows energy consumption of labs

15. Calculator for Carbon emissions 16. The Present Situation

Energy Consumption of Computer Lab Equipment is currently unknown.

• • American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) Sign by President John Dunn
  • Promote Higher Educationto take initiative on Sustainability on Campus.
• 17. Zero Net Carbon Emissions

Climate Savors Computer Initiative

Energy Star equipment

18. Avoid Phantom Power 19. Electrical Audit of Computer Labs Design

System's that cause the most energyconsumption in the labs

• • • Build list of items Needed
  • 20. Hours of operation for each Lab

Contact Lab Management

• • • Collect Component List
  • 21. Compile list of everyday energy saving techniques

Develop process to calculate

Contacting Management

Contacted Computer Lab Management

• • • Received low volume of responses
• Cut list of materials needed from management

• Still no responses from management

Contacted Campus Management

• • • Administration got involved and Drafted a Compliance Policy
    • • • Timothy Greene, Vice President for Academic Affairs
      • 35. Lowell Rinker, Vice President Business and Finance
    • 36. James Gilchrist, Vice Provost for Academic Operations

37. Calculator

Development of Energy Consumption Calculator

• Input component and outputs energy consumption

• • Outputs
  • All of the Campus Computer Labs
  • • Laboratorywatts
    • Computer watts
  • 38. Monitor watts
• 39. Printer watts

Compile Inventory List 40. Calculator 41. Pilot Labs

Use two Pilot Labs

• • College of Education & Human Development
• 42. Mallinson Institute for Science Education

Reduce Error of Calculations 43. Improve Structure of Excel Layout 44.

Develops information accessibility

• • • Future Projects
  • 46. Can be used to show smart choices
• 47. Promote other Campuses to adopt our view

Could Show Life Cycle Analysis of Machines

• • • Data on Carbon Emissions
  • 48. Cost to Operate
• 49. Energy Reduction Implementation

50. Recommendation

Get all the information needed from all the campus computer labs

• • I expect the numbers will show a lot of money is used to operate the machines
• 51. I expect to see a chance to cut carbon foot-print

Get more students evolved on the future overall audit on all the labs 52. Design management skills to improve efficiency 53. Questions
