We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Introduce a system of energy efficiency measuring for computer equipment. More details
Submitted by Peter Hopton of Very PC – Deadline to sign up by: 16 January 2007 – Signatures: 65
More details from petition creator
Currently locally assembled equipment can not be easily certified as 'energy star' or under energy efficient brand marks. In fact, only individual components can easily be energy efficient certified under the various schemes, and these brands and stamps are not visable to the end user.
This has resulted in the sale of computers such as Dell Intel Pentium 4 systems that use in excess of 250W of electricity to function. Despite the technology and components being available for the assembly of a similarly powerful machine consuming 50W or less.
Solution: Introduce a self testing system available to computer shops and assemblers around the country, allowing them to certify on an A-G scale the power consumption of computer equipment.
