Computer equipment is the fastest-growing electric load in the business world.
Unfortunately, much of the energy associated with computers is wasted because they are
often kept on while not in use. We have followed the US government’s Environmental
Protection Agency’s guidelines to ensure your computer meets the power usage guidelines in
their
E

TAR® program.

TAR® computers:
•
save you money in electricity bills
•
may actually last longer than conventional products because they spend a large portion
of time in a low-power Standby mode
•
generate less heat than conventional systems
•
tend to be quieter than conventional computers.
When you buy any electronic equipment – a printer, monitor, TV or VCR, check that it
meets

TAR® power guidelines.
