the computer back from standby, sleep, or off modes. However, these strategies use a large amount of energy during times when the computer is not in active use. Studies have shown that energy consumed during non-use periods is large, and is often the majority of total energy consumed. Qualifying software must control desktop computer and monitor power settings within a network from a central location. Eligibility Requirements The deemed savings reported in Table 374 are applicable to any software that meets the following Pacific Northwest Regional Technical Computer Power Forum's (“RTF”) Networked Management Control Software Specifications: Workstation is defined as the computer monitor and the PC box. The software shall have wake-on-LAN capability to allow networked workstations to be remotely wakened from or placed into any power-saving mode and to remotely boot or shut down ACPI-compliant workstations. The software shall give the IT administrator easily-accessible central control over the power management settings of networked workstations that optionally overrides settings made by users. The software shall be capable of applying specific power management policies to network groups, utilizing existing network grouping capabilities. The software shall be compatible with multiple operating systems and hardware configurations on the same network. The software shall monitor workstation keyboard, mouse, CPU and disk activity in determining workstation idleness. Deemed Savings The energy savings per unit found in various studies specific to the Verdiem Surveyor software varied from 33.8 kWh/year to 330 kWh/year, with an average savings of about 200 kWh/year. This includes the power savings from the PC as well as the monitor. Deemed savings are based on a research study conducted by Regional Technical Forum which involves actual field measurements of the Verdiem Surveyor product. The study reports deemed energy and demand savings for three different building types (schools, large office and small office) in combination with different HVAC systems types (electric heat, gas heat, and heat pumps). The deemed savings values in Table 374 also take into account the HVAC interactive effects. A simple average is reported for Pennsylvania.
