What is 80Plus?

80 PLUS® is an innovative, electric utility-funded incentive program to integrate more energy-efficient power supplies into desktop computers and servers.

The 80 PLUS performance specifications require power supplies in computers and servers to be 80% or greater energy efficient. This makes an 80 PLUS certified power supply at least 33% more efficient than current power supplies.

80 PLUS certified power supplies:

• Achieve energy savings, up to $70 over the life of a desktop computer
• Reduce a room’s cooling load, increasing comfort and saving up to 30%
• Increase computer system reliability and save on maintenance costs by up to 40%
• Minimize the need for noisy fans, creating a quieter environment
• Save on construction – saves hundreds of dollars in electrical system upgrades
• Allow more computers on the same branch circuit
• Save the environment – prevent pollution by reducing energy consumption

All US Micro workstations and some servers utilize 80Plus power supplies as standard equipment. Energy efficeincy is our goal and our commitment to you. Please be sure to ask your US Micro representative about 80Plus in your workplace.
