Computers in classroom labs are scheduled to shut down one hour after the last class ends. Computers in the libraries, University Center Underground Caf\u00e9, and other campus common areas are shut down when those facilities close for the night. Those computers are controlled remotely by software, and the shut-down schedules are easily edited when class or facility schedules change.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy-Efficient Monitors<\/h2>\n<p>Throughout campus offices and labs, as older CRT monitors have met retirement age they have been replaced with energy-efficient flat panel LCD screens. LCD monitors use one-half to two-thirds of the energy, plus they are easier on your eyes.<\/p>\n<h2>Reduction of Paper Use<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/it.adelphi.edu\/catalog\/printing\/\">Printer Management Program<\/a>\u00a0has been very successful in curbing the rampant overuse of printing resources; gone are the abandoned mounds of waste paper that piled up in computer labs. Working closely with the Student Government Association, a program was implemented that allots students 500 free pages per semester; students can add money into their accounts as needed for additional resources. This system encourages students to think before they print. Further improvements to this system are currently being pursued.<\/p>\n<h2>Conversion to Energy-Efficient Servers<\/h2>\n<p>The University had 60 standalone servers that consumed a great deal of electricity and taxed cooling resources. By converting to IBM blade servers, the University will have realized significant energy savings.<\/p>\n<h2>Transition to Virtualization Software<\/h2>\n<p>The phased-in transition to VMware\u2019s ESX virtualization software will continue to improve system utilization and reduce overhead. Virtualization decreases planned and unplanned downtime for improved business continuity, gives the ability to run fewer servers as needed, and allows administrators to dynamically power down unused servers to reduce energy costs.<\/p>\n<h2>Consolidation of Storage<\/h2>\n<p>By creating a centralized storage area network (SAN), 糖心破解版 IT has reduced its overall hardware footprint.<\/p>\n<h2>Installation of Energy-Saving Equipment<\/h2>\n<p>A new cooling system among our technology equipment has cut energy consumption and provides the ability to rotate equipment, thus conserving hardware usage as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy-Efficient Transportation<\/h2>\n<p>糖心破解版 IT uses electric-powered vehicles to transport computers and other equipment throughout the campus. Several information technology staff members have purchased hybrid cars for their personal use.<\/p>\n<h2>Recycling Program<\/h2>\n<p>Inkjet printer toner cartridges are recycled. A laser toner recycling program for administration is facilitated by 糖心破解版\u2019s Mail Room and our new printing services partner, AM Exclusive. Inkjet toner should be returned by individuals to the vendor using a prepaid label which is usually included in the original box.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 糖心破解版 IT hosts bi-annual\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/it.adelphi.edu\/catalog\/erecycle\/\">eRecycle events<\/a>\u00a0in which various forms of technology are collected to be properly recycled.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to recycle technology equipment any other time of the year, you can fill out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/it.adelphi.edu\/catalog\/equipment-recycling-request\/\">Equipment Recycling Request<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>糖心破解版\u2019s\u00a0Office of Information Technology\u00a0has identified several best practices that support the University\u2019s mission to \u201cgo green\u201d including: Remote Shut-Down of Lab Computers Energy-Efficient Monitors Reduction of Paper Use Conversion to Energy-Efficient Servers Transition to Virtualization Software Consolidation of Storage Installation of Energy-Saving Equipment Energy-Efficient Transportation Remote Shut-Down of Lab Computers Instead of leaving computers in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-37","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<title>Sustainable Technology Intitiatives | 糖心破解版<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"糖心破解版 IT employs remote shut-down of computers, energy-efficient monitors, servers &amp;
