For example, if a monitor currently uses 199 kWh per year and you find a monitor that
uses 105 kWh per year, your savings (based on 8.5 cents per kWh) is US$8 per year. That is
not a huge amount of money—your lunch probably costs more. But if you multiply that by
the number of monitors in your organization, you’ll quickly realize the savings.
The Energy Star website contains a more thorough tool than our rough estimate. It is a
Microsoft Excel tool that can help you calculate your cost savings. The tool is shown in
Figure 8-4. It can be downloaded via Link 8-5. PART III
