Ford to reduce operating costs and help the environment at the same time!
Ford Motor Company has decided that it will start enforcing a new energy policy designed to help reduce operating costs as well as reduce its carbon footprint in the process. The program is designed to get employees to turn off their computers for the night and especially the weekends. Their figures showed some 60% of computers at the company were left on after business hours. Ford will work with Microsoft Windows’ energy settings to help with the goal of cutting wasted energy down. They will also schedule updates for select days after hours, at which time the computers will be awake to receive the updates, but won’t allow the updates to interfere with normal business operations. Estimated carbon reduction of 16,000-25,000 metric tons per year. For more, head on over to Autoblog.
