"By following the advice in this unique guide, we saved energy and money for our business, plus a little more of everyone's environment. Great addition to your "consumer" library!" -- Roger Telschow, Ecoprint

"...an excellent summary of office energy consumption issues." -- Demand-Side Technology Report

Electricity use by office equipment is growing faster than any other use of electricity in commercial buildings. This new edition provides expanded information and purchasing strategies for consumers about how to select and use efficient equipment.

The guide includes information on the energy use characteristics of personal computers, monitors, computer printers, copiers, facsimile machines, combination ("hydra") machines, and in a new section, retrofit devices. The relationship between energy consumption and paper use in the workplace is examined. Current government, utility and private industry programs that help promote the development and use of energy-efficient office equipment are discussed. Purchasers are offered guidance on public-access databases to help them obtain product-specific information. Published in cooperation with EPRI (free to EPRI members through EPRI) and the U.S. EPA.
