Uses 70% less electricity If left inactive, ENERGY STAR qualified XPC enter a low-power mode and use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than ever. Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer. Businesses that use ENERGY STAR enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance. Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR qualified XPC in a single home office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.

Saving energy prevents pollution  Energy usage profoundly affects all of us, financially (though skyrocketing costs) and physically (through increased pollution). One of the key initiatives of our designers is to continuously design Shuttle computers that lower power requirements, lessening not only your energy bill but also the negative effects of high energy usage upon the environment.
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution. Shuttle computers leave our manufacturing plant with exceptional power management functions and components already installed. You’ll find our computers equipped with a low power sleep mode that automatically activates if you haven’t touched your computer for an extended period of time. This “sleep mode” reduces your PCs energy consumption. The power management functions also include the ability to scale your processor performance based on your workload. The lower your needs, the less energy your Shuttle PC will consume.

Recyclable, not restricted materials We consider the long-term impacts of energy consumption, both from and economic and an environmental perspective. We also strive to find creative ways to manufacture “green” machines that use recyclable materials instead of restricted materials.

An ENERGY STAR qualified XPC uses 70% less electricity than computers without enabled power management features. 
Beyond the energy required to run the machines, we also take a green approach to the packaging and design of Shuttle PCs. Our small form factor means we use less raw materials in manufacturing. It also mitigates the costs of shipping and packaging materials.
