Many studies have confirmed this and showed that PCs and
displays are frequently left powered on and in an active-use state
resulting in significant energy waste. PCs and displays account
for approximately two-thirds of power consumption in offices.
In addition to power waste, air-conditioning systems have to
work harder to cool the indoor temperature. For every kWh of
energy used by office equipments, the air-conditioning requires
an additional 0.2 - 0.5 kWh to cool the extra heat generated by
office equipments

PCs typically monitor keyboard and mouse inputs to determine
user absence. However, monitoring these inputs have become
inefficient, outdated methods to determine user absence. With
video conferencing and online content consumption gaining
popularity, many users have configured longer power
management settings (or worse, switched them off completely) to
stop their PCs from going to sleep prematurely.
As a result, PCs stay on for far longer than needed, wasting
energy and remaining vulnerable to unauthorised access. This
situation is made worse with PC setups often having multiple,
large, hi-resolution displays which consume more energy,
indirectly increasing the energy wastage when left powered on
unnecessarily.

HOW IT WORKS

Simple plug and play! The TrickleStar Advanced Keyboard does
not require any software installation or configuration. It will not
interfere with other existing power management software. It is
designed to work independently of other power management
tools to ensure energy savings are optimized.
Plug the wired USB Type-C cable from your TrickleStar®
Advanced Keyboard directly into an available USB Type-C port
on the PC to enjoy this power management solution. If the PC is
only available with USB Type-A port, use the supplied USB
Type-C to USB Type-A adapter for connection.
Typical energy savings range from 100kWh to >500kWh a year.
Energy savings are dependent on 4 elements:

1.Type of PC
2.Type and number of displays connected to PC
3.PC sleep settings
4.User behavior

PRODUCT WARRANTY
One-year, limited product warranty
