New energy saving product released for the office to save the environment and to save offices money
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) May 15, 2008 --
Independent research shows that Bye Bye Standby® will save the average office £32 per employee per year
Businesses are responsible for approximately 40 per cent of the total carbon emissions in the UK. Today, a product has been launched to help UK businesses do their bit for the environment, and make vast savings on electricity bills. Bye Bye Standby Office is a simple plug-in energy control system, which is ideal for most work environments.
The launch comes following the success of Bye Bye Standby’s retail product for eco-friendly homes. The company is now helping to do the same for the office, with the focus on supporting businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.
Office appliances are currently consuming 15 per cent of all electrical energy in the UK . Bye Bye Standby Office works by cutting power to electrical devices left in standby. The energy saving set contains four robust sockets, which are tamper proof and paired, to ensure that they will not communicate with any other device in the office. The set also contains a remote control. Simply plug the computer, printer, monitor or fax machine into the sockets and use the remote control to ensure everything is switched off before you leave the office at night.
Bye Bye Standby Office has been designed to conveniently cut power to electrical equipment with ease. By simply using a remote, which wirelessly connects with the smart sockets, you can control the power of up to 16 pieces of office equipment.
An average desktop PC wastes nearly half the power delivered to it, by being left on or in standby mode when not in use. PCs left switched on all night cause 700,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year – the equivalent of running 200,000 cars for a year. Ensuring office equipment is switched off at night will help reduce the 60 per cent of energy being wasted by equipment and appliances in the office left on standby in the UK.
Poor energy efficiency costs businesses an estimated £2 billion annually. Independent research shows that Bye Bye Standby® will save the average business £32 per employee per year, representing millions of pounds across the country.
Geoff Ellis, product director, Bye Bye Standby says, ”Our energy saving office solution has been designed for businesses of any size who want to make a difference and start saving energy and money almost straight away. The solution operates wirelessly via a RF signal to ensure easy installation, meaning businesses can avoid any disruption. Businesses use the term ‘return on investment’ in their everyday language. With Bye Bye Standby, the initial cost of the kit is returned many times over with savings on energy bills.”
