Two Warnings1. Manage Expectations!• Reduce our Energy Bill (£15,000pm)• ICT contribution: <<10% probably <£800pm• Potential “Saving”: “only” £200pm (<2%)
2. Beware of “Responsibility Creep”• What is consuming the power?• Just because it is “controlled” by a computer does
not mean it’s an IT Problem!
