Richie and Cal have been working on a excel spreadsheet tool to calculate the lifetime energy cost of ICT equipment. The idea being that staff purchasing ICT equipment can put in the amount of equipment being bought and the wattage rating (supplied by the vendor) and see how much the equipment will cost in energy over it’s life span. This will be integrated into the purchasing process and form part of the purchasing criteria.  This will help to maintain the momentum in the drive for green equipment purchase.
