It doesn't matter whether you're interested in sustainable green computing because it will save money or save the environment – it will do both.
Did you know that power makes up around half a typical IT budget?
And did you know that:
- An average PC wastes around half the power it uses?
- PC energy costs already exceed hardware costs?
- A PC can use over 800kWhr/yr (>$300/yr at current rates)?
- Most PCs have power management disabled?
- Computers lose around a third of their power as heat?
- Peripherals (printers, routers. switches, etc) are just as bad?
- Computing creates around 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions – the same as the aviation industry!

Why EarthCare Technology?
EarthCare Technology is uniquely positioned to assist you in minimising the environmental footprint of your computer systems, as well as their costs.
We started our business in 1991, and built our first low-energy computer in 2002. Our staff have been involved in improving business environmental performance since 1975, including experience in environmental management consulting.
To ensure your Sustainable Green Computing solution best supports your needs requires that those needs be identified - not in computing terms, but in terms of what you do and how you do it. Our analysis skills can help identify savings in your computer energy and purchase budget.
Once the opportunities are identified, you need to be able to choose from a range of solutions. With our experience in client-server systems, low-energy computers (including our own range of NetSense ECO PCs), custom PC design and PC optimisation, as well the extensive research we have undertaken into high-efficiency technology, we can identify the system that ensures the lowest Total Cost of Ownership.
Few companies can beat our track record in sustainable green computing. With customers as far away as Wagga Wagga and Merimbula, our base in the Illawarra positions us to provide professional advice and services - and competitive products - to small and medium sized businesses through South-Eastern New South Wales.
EarthCare Technology is proud to be a member of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, an international alliance of computer companies aiming to reduce global computer power consumption by 50%.
