Nor-Tech offers ENERGY STAR 4.0 qualified PCs

EPA has strengthened the requirements for earning the ENERGY STAR to meet energy use guidelines in three distinct operating modes: standby, active, and sleep modes. This ensures energy savings when computers are being used and performing a range of tasks, as well as when they are in standby. ENERGY STAR qualified computers must also have a more efficient internal power supply.

Burnsville, MN - August 5, 2008 - Nor-Tech is pleased to offer Energy Star 4.0 qualified computers, the latest specification from the international standard for energy efficient consumer products. Products that earn the ENERGY STAR use less energy and prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

Computers that have earned the ENERGY STAR help save energy through special energy-efficient designs, which allow them to use less energy to perform regular tasks, and automatically enter a low-power mode when not in use.

Most office equipment is left on for 24 hours a day, making energy-efficient design and power management features important for saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. In addition to reducing power use for the products themselves, ENERGY STAR qualified office products feature energy-efficient designs for accessories. So, products sold with an external power adapter, cordless handset, or digital front-end, must have accessories which meet the ENERGY STAR specifications for External Power Supplies (EPS), Telephony, or Computers. These requirements ensure that the ENERGY STAR is represented only on the market's most energy-efficient products.
