Many years ago we had a “green team” supposedly come up with ways to save energy and reduce emissions. The best they could think of was have the computers turn off at night. That’s when we did patches and we already had disabled screensavers and had them sleep instead, set machines to idle sooner, etc.
In response, I put together some napkin math of how much would be saved if:
Work from home was implemented and offices were powered off 1 day a week.
HVAC was set 1 degree higher in summer and lower in winter.
They met us in the middle by setting the screen timeout to 30 minutes instead of an hour.
