The electronics purchasing policy, directive, or guidelines :
UIT has set up procurement standards that will constantly be updated to reflect the most current available energy efficient hardware. EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) registered computer desktops, laptops, and monitors must meet an environmental performance standard for electronic products. We currently purchase "Gold-registered" which reduces waste and increases recyclability of waste. Gold-registered features 10 percent post- consumer recycled plastic in its chassis and small form factor comes in recyclable packaging. To help reduce energy costs, minimum procurement standards now include Energy Star 5.0-compliant desktops with 90% efficient power supply, Energy Smart Power Management settings, high efficiency processors and latest chip technology increase per watt performance.
