Computer Carbon Footprint Calculator
What's the impact of your computers on the environment? Use this simple calculator to work out the carbon footprint of the computers in your office.
Walk around your office and count how many Desktop PCs, laptops, LCD monitors and LED backlit monitors you have. Then type the amounts into the calculator (entering 0 if there are none). You'll be able to see:
- How much electricity your computers use
- How much the electricity your computers use is costing you
- How much greenhouse gas is emitted by your computers
- Equivalent CO2 from driving
And you'll see these metrics in the following scenarios:
- If your computers are left on for 24 hours a day
- If your computers are only on during work hours (average of 8 hours a day)
- Optimum computer carbon footprint for your organisation (if all energy efficiency measures are adopted)
- How much your computers would cost you if electricity tariffs are doubled
- How much you could be saving
