Today’s the second of the 3-day Green California Schools Summit at the Pasadena Conference Center in California. California is on the leading edge of the green school movement, creating a state-wide framework and incentives for sustainable schools, and at the summit will focus on strategies, technologies and services that will ensure that new and existing public schools are models of sustainability and provide healthy learning environments for students.
And VIA will be there showcasing power efficient systems that can go a long way towards helping manage a power grid that is becoming increasingly taxed, and has already caused brown and black outs across the state.
At booth 410, VIA will demonstrate how energy efficient computers with low power consumption not only reduce electricity costs, but considerably reduce temperature increases caused by ICT operation, making education environments more comfortable and reducing the need for room air-conditioning that can be expensive to install, operate and maintain. There’ll also be a chance to have a look at how green Ultra Mobile Devices, like the Samsung Q1b, are being used to great effect in educational settings.
So, if you’re in the area, pop in for a look.
