Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
All of the values above are for Calendar Year 2010. The total dollars spent on desktop and laptop computers is an estimate provided by Bob Swanson- UO Property Coordinator. It is an estimate. The dollars spent on EPEAT Gold computers was only for UO Facilities Services and UO Housing Services. Dollars spent on EPEAT Silver computers was only for UO Housing and the EMU. Purchases on EPEAT computers are likely higher than what is shown above, however a more efficient/comprehensive way to track those purchases was not developed for this STARS report. These are very conservative, low-end results.
