A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
1). The University has only purchased Dell and HP desktop and laptop equipment rated EPEAT-Silver or Gold.
2). The University has made available to all IT employees on campus the EPA Power Management EZ GPO(http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfmc=power_mgt.pr_power_mgt_ez_gpo) via the Active Directory system which we use to control local workstation/laptop policies on campus. This system allows for a central configuration for power management settings and in turn reduces energy consumption.
3). The University started to roll out thin client computers to the computerized student labs we operate on campus. Instead of have a full desktop PC that uses an average of 60 watts, these device use an average of 20 watts. The actual computing power is moved back to the data center running on servers which can host 50-60 virtual desktops apiece.
