Look, mom, I'm not the only lunatic that wants to save money! Here's Hanselman's contribution.
Yes I know, I'm really obsessed with logging data - I keep log my car logs since 1993! Sick!
Energy saving is my last data acquisition obsession. On 2005, I was spending 11,76 KW/h per day, and managed to lower my daily consumption to 5,48 KW/h!
Here's how I've managed to get such savings:
- changed all lighting to power-saving lamps
- turned off equipment I used to stand-by
- moved my servers away from home into an ASP
- only powered on my net appliances (router, WiFi AP) when needed
- plugged out of the power socket equipment that still sucked up power turned off
- changed the refrigerator for a more power effective unit - ok, the old refrigerator broke down, I (kind of) got lucky
To support some of these, I bought a watt meter and some remote operated power sockets.
Hope you too can save some money with this hits. And the planet we all live in...
