What People are Saying About the Energy Star Monitor Power Management Program

Information Technology

“We joined the Million Monitor Drive by coupling EZ Save functionality with our Unicenter® infrastructure management software. We’ve now quickly and easily enabled power management on all 17,000 of our company’s PCs — saving us 3.4 million kWh annually. Our customers can now access the combined power of Unicenter and the value-added solution of power management to greatly reduce their electricity costs and contribute to the country’s energy conservation efforts. ” - Allan Andersen, Vice President, Unicenter Marketing, Computer Associates

Finance

“Citigroup is committed to taking a leadership role in preserving valuable natural resources and the environment. When we recently upgraded our technology system, we used this opportunity to incorporate this proven energy efficiency element into our system’s design to conserve electricity, as well as to save money.” - Pamela P. Flaherty, Senior Vice President of Global Community Relations, Citigroup

Higher Education

“With 800 computers, it seemed impossible to find a way to enable all of them in a timely way. But, EZ Save allowed us to enable the entire network in about one-half day through the work of just one person. The savings are incredible.” - Stewart Uretsky, Associate Dean and Chief Financial Officer at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

K-12 Schools

“We work with hundreds of K-12 school districts in Texas, educating them about energy efficiency. Power management and the Million Monitor Drive offer a simple and powerful tool to cut through the confusion and myths that challenge school energy managers in their energy saving efforts in school computer networks.” - Steve R. Cook, Program Director, Watt Watchers

Government

“Alameda County is extremely committed to adopting smart, innovative technologies to significantly reduce our energy consumption and save taxpayer dollars. Using the EZ Save software is a key part of the County’s overall energy strategy.” - Scott Haggerty, President of the Board of Supervisors, Alameda County

“When it comes to energy, every little bit counts. We’ve always been energy conscious and trying to cut down on waste. This program - which doesn’t cost us a penny - will take that effort one step farther by making sure that we pay only for the time that our computers are in use. Hopefully other governments and businesses will do the same.” - Andy Spano, County Executive for Westchester County

"I am glad that NYSERDA could help Westchester County take control of their energy costs. Following the State's lead in energy efficiency standards, the County is taking a big step towards adopting Governor Pataki's Executive Order No. 111, ‘Green and Clean’ State Buildings and Vehicles. In order to save taxpayer money and save energy statewide, I encourage more local governments to take advantage of the programs NYSERDA offers." - William M. Flynn, NYSERDA President.
