You probably have more than one computers at home. Here are a few little energy saving tips on home computers.
First, the computer now has the green power-saving feature, you can set the sleep mode (generally configured between 15 minutes to 30 minutes). When the computer is waiting for a long time when no keyboard or mouse input signal has been received, it will enter “sleep” state, automatically reduced running speed of the machine (reduce CPU running frequency, energy consumption decreased to 30%, hard drive stops) until they were signals to “wake up”.
Second is that when using a computer only for a short time, or listening to music, you can adjust the display brightness dimmed or turned off.
Third, power on the printer only when needed, and shut down after printing jobs.This will save you over 90% of energies you spent on printers.
Lastly, keep your computer to regular maintenance, moisture, dust-proof. Machine dust will affect the cooling, monitor dust affects the brightness of the screen. Maintain a clean environment, periodically clear the dust inside the machine, wipe the screen, will help energy saving and can extend the life of the computer as well
