Federal Agencies must have an Electronics Stewardship plan and be on track to implement power management on 100 percent of PCs, laptops and monitors and extend the life of equipment to greater than four years, by December 2010. OMB Environmental Stewardship Scorecard, issued January 2010

The reported number of Federal data centers grew from 432 in 1998 to more than 1,100 in 2009. This growth in redundant infrastructure investments is costly, inefficient, unsustainable and has a significant impact on energy consumption. Preliminary Federal data center consolidation plans to be complete by June 30, 2010.

Executive Order 13423 requires federal agencies to purchase environmentally preferable products and services, and revokes previous Executive Orders related to Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP). For more information on EPP visit the Environmental Protection Agency website.

With rising energy costs, changing policy and regulations on energy efficiency and the threat of climate change, effective demand-side energy management is critically important for the public sector. The desktop PC is responsible for 31% of IT energy demand, with servers and data centers accounting for 16%*. In the US, over 50% of all office PCs are left on overnight, which results in an energy waste of $2.8 billion per year, and CO2 emissions of 20 million tons** – equivalent to the total CO2 emissions of the State of New Hampshire every year. Effective IT energy management can cut out this waste entirely and reduce power demand by an average of 40%***.
