Modern PCs can deliver incredible amounts of computing power.  Unfortunately, most of it goes unused since typical users tap into less than 10% of available capacity. Unused computing cycles may seem to cost nothing, but dig deeper and you’ll find hard costs that quickly add up. 

How Do We Benefit Our Environment?

NComputing access devices draw only 1 to 5 watts and thereby can reduce the energy footprint per user by as much as 99% (when compared to a PC drawing 110 watts).  The small size of the access devices saves space not only on the user desktop but in transport and eventually in landfills.  Furthermore, our products are RoHS compliant, thereby preventing hazardous materials from finding their way into the environment.

Electricity Organizations save on ongoing electricity costs – to the extent that electricity savings alone can pay for the NComputing access devices in as little as one year. Air Conditioning With fewer PCs and less energy consumption, heat output in the user environment is reduced. This decreases the demand for air conditioning saving even more on electricity. e-Waste NComputing access devices weigh just one-third of a pound compared with 21 pounds for a typical PC. So there’s less to transport and less e-waste that will find its way to a landfill.

Environmental Impact

Beyond the direct cost benefits to organizations, the efficiencies enabled by NComputing result in tangible benefits to our environment. With over 500,000 seats sold worldwide, the NComputing user base saves:

• 78 million kwh of electricity yearly
• 10,000 metric tons of coal have not been burned
• 50,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions have been reduced

In addition, over 3500 metric tons of e-waste will not end up in landfills worldwide.
