80 PLUS
80 PLUS has recently listed GreenPrint as a partner on its website. According to the website, 80 PLUS is “an innovative, electric utility-funded incentive program to integrate more energy-efficient power supplies into desktop computers and servers.”
Most power supplies weren’t designed for energy efficiency and typically use more power than they need to during day-to-day operations. Some even draw electricity even when a computer is turned off. 80 PLUS certifies that a power supply will only use the power it needs, which in turn saves energy costs. So far, over 635 power supplies have been certified by 80 PLUS and many major computer manufacturers are selling qualified computers.
