GREEN IT

The request was successful.

Dear Sirs

In the press this weekend it was announced that SEPA had been leaving 400 PC's on overnight, wasting around 90,000 kwh per year, the equivalent of 280 hours of flying a jet plane. In order to combat this they have now introduced a Power Management software product. As you are a Public Sector body in Scotland I would like to know;

How many PC's do you have in your organization?
Do you use a Power Management software product (not the operating system: this is inefficient)?
Contact details for the person responsible for Green issues / carbon reduction commitments?

Many thanks,

David Blades

Sharon O'Donnell, North East of Scotland Transport Partnership

Dear Mr Blades

In answer to your questions:

We have 9 PC's in our organisation.
Nestrans IT systems are provided by Aberdeen City Council and therefore information on a power management system will be included in a response from them.
Please contact either Don Kent, Transport Executive, Travel Planning & Delivery ([email address]) or myself, Sharon O'Donnell, Office Manager ([email address]) on any Green issues.
