Computers and monitors can account for half of the electricity used in a typical office. A single monitor left switched on overnight can use the same energy as a laser printer producing 800 A4 printed copies, and don’t be fooled by a screensaver – the computer is still working at full power to run this. In fact around one third or more of energy used on a PC and monitor is wasted energy. Well, now the ecobutton™ is here to help.

The ecobutton™ acts as a strong visual reminder and prompt for you to save electricity each time your computer is going to be left idle. Each time you take a break, such as a phone call, go for lunch or a meeting you simply press the ecobutton™ and your computer is put into energy saving 'ecomode' which ensures that both your computer and monitor draw only the same nominal power as when they are shut down. When you return to your computer you will instantly be able to continue where you left off. 

The ecobutton™ is illuminated and sits on your table/desk top next to your keyboard and connects to your computer via a USB cable. Making it simple and easy to use.

One Small Click, One Big Change

There's also an additional bonus, each time your computer is put into 'ecomode' the clever ecobutton™ software records how many carbon units and how much power and money you have saved by using the ecobutton™. Over time this can add up to quite a lot (especially if you have many computers running in an office) and you can use this data to help reduce your carbon footprint as well as your energy bills.
