How have we done the BBS Professional Demonstration?

Press "On" and "Off" to control the PC and light on the left. The power it is consuming is shown below (NB the light and the fan are controlled by the BBS consumer range.)

The Demonstration system above shows the BBS Professional Office Energy Starter Kit in action. The PC and the light are plugged into one of the Smart Strips which report the power being used by the strip every 3 seconds back to the Energy Manager, a piece of software that analyses and manages your energy use.

All the data from the Smart Strip is recorded into a central database and the graph on the right hand side shows a view of what the database is recording. This database can then be used to show you how much energy each staff member used last month and what that cost.

What is not shown above is the BBS Professional Powerdown Screensaver. This automates the process of shutting down your PC at night if you forget to turn it off. Any work you may have been working on is saved so that next morning you come back and get straight back to work.
