Lab Upgrades

Improving the DECS public computer labs is always a high priority to us. Three of the DECS computer labs were upgraded with new computers this past summer: EB1318, EB1312 and Wilson G79 (110 total computers). These new computers offer faster processing power and increased energy efficiency. Energy usage has been reduced by approximately 30 watts per computer. Thirty watts may not seem like much, but when you multiply that by 110 computers, that is a significant energy reduction. In addition, when the computers are in hibernation mode, they use less than 1 watt of power, which is about a 95% reduction in energy consumption when compared to the computer systems that were replaced.
