Calculating Energy Costs

Organizations can cut desktop energy cost by deploying thin-computing architectures.

Use the formula below to approximate your organization's annual energy cost.

n*p*h*r*52 = annual electricity cost for desktop computing

n = number of desktop devices
p = power (in kilowatts) used by each device (thin clients = .007, PCs = .07)
h = number of hours each week that devices are turned on
r = current electricity rates in kWh ($0.0894 = national average as of December 2006)
52 = number of weeks in a year
