With increased power price and worse environmental crises, the demands for environmental friendly Hi-tech equipment multiply daily. Not only enterprises but also family users are obliged to attach to energy conservation through proper reasonable methods.

Following are there eight tips for reaching such a destination:

Power off: none suspend modes will be more practical than alone shutting down. If you are likely to leave the computer for a long time (more than one hour), then for God's sake, please shut down your PC.

Leaving them off use for quite some time, they will automatically reduce power loss themselves. Such power saving functions can be settled in the OS. For example, display devices can shut down after 15 minutes in idle, and the computers turn into sleep or hibernate mode.

Corollary equipment open only when used: printer and scanner eat electricity even though off use. Besides, external hard drives while connected with PCs consume electricity. These external devices ought to keep away from PC when unnecessary.

Let consuming list in sight: an energy consumption tester can teach you how the total energy loss distributes and an optimal energy consumption method.

Are there any new ways and methods aiming at energy conservation? Please tell me then! For lower cost of our own and for sustainable development of our society.
