The majority of businesses can make significant savings in energy with a small amount of effort. For example, in many organisations it is relatively straightforward to make consumption and carbon footprint savings of at least twenty percent with informed purchasing of ICT equipment and a power management strategy.
KumoWatt was founded by a team of scientists and consultants who have spent more than 10 years investigating how to reduce the energy consumption for IT related tasks. It is headed by Simon Ponsford who is recognised by Silicon.com as a Global Agenda Setter and one who "stands apart as one of the individuals bringing green computing to life". He is also recognised as the inventor of the World's lowest powered Windows PC and was the only invited guest speaker to talk about the carbon footprint of ICT at the 2012 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 18).
Understanding the power usage and subsequent carbon impact of ICT systems can be a complex matter, but with a robust and systematic methodology, it can be estimated with a high degree of accuracy. KumoWatt courses teach this methodology. Designed for both Energy Managers and ICT professionals, this course will enable participants to carry out energy audits, propose improvements and assess the impact of changes. The savings in terms of energy cost and reduced carbon footprint for the organisation are often significant.
KumoWatt's mission is to enable organisations to make better energy-related decisions about ICT equipment. It does this through consultancy, the provision of courses and by providing specialist energy consumption measurement equipment.
