Desktop Gadget

The EcoAware desktop gadget provides a compelling , real-time estimate of how much energy you have saved above and beyond the standard Windows power schemes. The gadget provides a variety of energy measurements (money saved, CO2 prevented, and the amount of time that the energy saved could light a 60W equivalent CFL) over a variety of time periods (today, YTD, and projected savings for an entire year). It is not only a valuable data source, but also a great way to feel good about the positive impact you’re having.

Extensive Presets

EcoAware provides a variety of different presets that allow you to fine-tune the power saved with several different workflows. Simply press a single button and EcoAware handles the rest!

Detailed Manual Control

If the presets are not detailed enough, EcoAware also allows for the manual entry of specific timers and functions. For example, you may specify the exact amount of time after your face leaves view of the camera before the monitor is turned off – both while on AC and battery.

Central Reporting

If purchased as part of FastAccess Enterprise, the power saved by EcoAware can be centrally aggregated. Power savings from individual PCs may be modest, but when large numbers of PCs - common in corporate environments - are added together the overall savings quickly become truly impressive!

Simultaneous Use Of Other Video Applications

Just as with FastAccess, EcoAware allows for the simultaneous use of other video applications such as Skype or Google Video chat at the same time as EcoAware through our unique “virtual camera” technology.
