An Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) program established by the Environmental
Protection Agency and 50 other companies in 1993
to encourage PCs and peripherals that use less energy.
For a computer, printer, monitor,
or other electrical device to carry an Energy Star label, it must meet
the below
requirements.
- The device must be able to sense when it has been left inactive for a
specific amount of time.
- Once the device has decided it has been left
inactive it
must be able to power down to a mode that consumes no more than 30
watts of energy.
Monitors in this state, for example, will go blank.
- No data is lost when computer
components enter a low-power mode, but it may take a few seconds for the computer to
"wake up" once again. Usually moving the mouse or pressing a key on the
keyboard
would get the computer out of this mode.
