ShutdownPlus Green

Electricity is one of the commodities we are starting to take for granted, especially when it comes to our electronic devices and computers.

Power consumption must be closely monitored and controlled in order to achieve a suitable balance between performance and CO2 emissions.

ShutdownPlus Green is an application that enables you to keep track of your carbon footprint and save a bit of energy every day. After you set up the time frame for your working hours, the program puts your computer in standby mode after a certain number of idle minutes or hours.

These settings come into play only between the time intervals when you are not at home, so they do not interfere with your activities while you are using it. ShutdownPlus Green can also turn on your computer at certain hours, in case you need to access it remotely from another location.

If you happen to forget any opened documents on your computer and it is programed to shut down while you are away, the application automatically saves every file before proceeding with the operation, so you do not lose any data.

ShutdownPlus Green displays a summary containing the total power consumption and CO2 quantities produced by your computer, as well as the cost per month required to keep the system running. You can also view the amount of money you can save by running ShutdownPlus Green.

Overall, ShutdownPlus Green does its job and manages to obtain a decent cost efficiency when it comes to power consumption. This saves you money and also lengthens the life of your computer components.

The application comes with a simple and intuitive user interface, which allows anyone to make full use of its functions without any special skills required.
