HP Energy Solutions

Energy Demand Solutions

• HP offers products that meet key eco-standards such as Energy Star, Canada Environmental Choice, Blue Angel (Germany), TCO (Sweden), and China CECP energy.
  
  
• Our latest PCs and workstations are more efficient than the HP products they replace. For example, our Blade PC incorporates low-voltage processors that are 10 times more efficient than those in a typical desktop PC. In addition, we now offer power supplies on several commercial PCs that are 33% more energy efficient than previous power supplies.
  
  
• In 2006, HP introduced a new line of energy efficient servers: the C-Class blade servers with embedded Thermal Logic technology use 33% less power than regular rack mount servers, reduce noise pollution by 50%, and the jet-engine inspired ‘active fan technology’ uses 50% less power than conventional cooling fans.
  
  
• The HP Compaq dx2250 Desktop PC features energy-efficient processors to help lower a customer’s TCO and AMD’s Cool ‘n’ Quiet™ technology to help reduce processor heat.
  
  
• In 1993, we introduced “instant-on fusing” for HP LaserJet printers, which saves energy when the machine is idle. We estimate that for our monochrome LaserJet products, this technology has saved 4.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) since 1993, equivalent to removing 870,000 cars from the road for one year.
  
  
• In January 2007, select HP desktop business PCs will offer 80% efficient power supplies that meet the U.S. EPA’s EnergyStar 4.0 requirements six months before the new guidelines take effect. The new power supplies are 33% more efficient than current power supplies.
  
  
• HP’s Thermal Assessment Service can improve the efficiency of data center cooling resources by reducing energy consumption up to 25%, saving about $1 million/year, without additional capital investment.
  
  
• HP Dynamic Smart Cooling energy management system is designed to deliver 20 to 45% savings in cooling energy costs or allows additional equipment to be added to the data center while keeping net power costs constant.
