TOP TIP
WALK TO
SCHOOL
Travel cleaner and
greener. If possible hop
on the school bus in the
morning, better still,
walk in.
Practical
examples
Installing
recycling and
compost bins.
TOP TIP
SWITCH OFF
LIGHTS
Don’t leave lights on in
empty rooms. Are your
classrooms using energy
saving light bulbs? They
could save £10
per year each in
electricity.

school with RM and Intel ®
Practical
examples
Talking to
local farmers
to learn
about the
environment.
TOP TIP
TURN OFF
COMPUTERS
Use low-power PCs,
such as an RM ecoquiet
PC. Turn off your PCs when
not in use, or use RM
Local Support tools to
do this automatically.
It’s easy to forget how much energy we waste.
But just a few simple changes can make a world
of difference.
You and your teachers can help to save your
school money and you can protect our planet’s
natural resources, too.
We’re helping with our range of new ecoquiet ®
PCs. They use up to two-thirds less power.
They’re also quieter in use.
If all UK schools were to use RM ecoquiet
technology, for instance, we could shut down one
of our UK coal-fired power stations – forever.
We’re doing our bit. What will you do?

Now, with the energy and environmental savings you want
Save £100 per PC per year
Why pay for energy which you don’t need to use? Our new
ecoquiet technology, powered by Intel ® Processors, delivers
cutting-edge computing performance, designed for the classroom
– but uses up to two-thirds less power than a standard PC.

GREENER
...CLASSROOM ICT
The new RM ecoquiet PC range, powered by
Intel ® Processors, uses up to 66% less energy
than a standard PC, with no loss to performance.
Because ecoquiet computers need less energy
to run, they can significantly reduce your school’s
energy bill.
They’re whisper-quiet too, so create the ideal
teaching and learning environment.
“
If schools used the RM ecoquiet,
it could be UK schools that will lead
the way in reducing Britain’s
energy consumption.

Even better, every hour, every day, ecoquiet’s efficiency
helps to reduce your impact on the environment.
With fully configurable specifications, ecoquiet technology,
is now available on nearly all RM PCs, including:
- The award-winning RM One with a choice of
Intel ® Celeron ® M and Pentium ® M Processors.
Our ecoquiet PCs are also available with RM Window Box
Open software pre-installed, set-up and ready to go!
Save Money
Energy costs are rising fast. With limited budgets, it makes
sense to plan to save.
How many thousands of pounds is your school wasting?
Underlining our commitment to designing the best ICT for
education, ecoquiet minimises the lifetime cost of classroom
computers in use.
Just look at the savings in our examples. Even better, visit the
online calculator and see how much you could save:

Save Energy
Energy consumption costs more than just money. It takes its
toll on the environment too.
We all need to do our bit to ensure that we conserve the world’s
energy resources.
The ecoquiet PC is specifically designed to use less power, when
in operation. It runs, on average, 100W below a standard PC.
That’s great for the environment – and great for your electricity
bill too.
WE’RE DOING OUR BIT. ARE YOU?
Environment-friendly RM ecoquiet ® technology powered by Intel ® Processors
“
RM is to be applauded for
developing an information
communication product with thought
given to its environmental impact.
We were pleased to be among the
first to adopt the technology and will
certainly consider extending its
use in the future.
”
Sue Goodsell, Head Teacher, Brooke Hill Primary
Reduce Distracting Noise
Cooling a conventional PC can be a noisy business. In an
ICT suite full of machines, incessant PC fan ‘whirr’ can
become an irritating distraction.
We can’t keep pupils quiet for you, but we can certainly bring
some hush to your PCs!
Independent tests have shown that an RM ecoquiet PC is more
than 14 dB(A) quieter than a standard PC.
Designed using Intel ® Processors, an ecoquiet PC offers a far
quieter teaching & learning environment – which means better
concentration all round.
One box is GREENER than two
Because of its integrated design and small footprint,
RM One is shipped in one box, not two – that’s half
the packaging, so half the waste.
We’re working to reduce the amount
of packaging further – and
streamlining the way in which we ship documentation
and manuals to prevent unnecessary duplication.
What could we save?
How much energy and cash could the average
primary school save with ecoquiet ® ?
Well, let’s see.
Based on 39 weeks usage, at 8 hours a day, if you replaced
30 computers with ecoquiet PCs, over 3 years you
would save…
Up to £1,200 in fuel costs
and
up to 14,230kWh of energy.
That's enough cash to fit your school with four small
wind turbines!
...and with energy costs rising, the savings could be
even higher…
