Brightness Optimization Strategy
Optimise display monitor brightness & save power & Earth
How it Works?
- Intro
We are the power managers from Sishu Griha School in Bangalore, India and we look for ways to save power consumption.
- What is it all about ?
A new and profound research brought out the fact that optimizing brightness levels of computer monitors and LCD projectors will result in realizing substantial power savings in our school.
- Why reduce power?
If each one in our planet reduces power consumption, we would not only find savings in money, but would also save our planet, its beauty and bounty.
- Why in Computer Monitors?
Computers are one of the most widely used gadgets in today's world and it would be the easiest way, as a community, to just optimize monitor brightness settings and save substantial amount of power.
- How does this help our planet?
It is proven that for every kWh of energy, we save, there is a reduction of 0.9kg of CO2. in the emission from power plants. Thus we reduce Carbon footprint.
- And.... What more?
Reduction in power consumption implies reduction in power demand for the state and therefore a better prosperity!!
- International Recognition
This project has been shortlisted by Volvo Adventure & United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as one of the 8 projects to represent India in the finals at the Volvo Adventure International Conference on Environment Education in Sweden - July 2013
Power Saving Potential
So please... Go ahead and optimize the brightness settings in your computer monitors. This is one of the most effective power saving options in a computer system.
The Graph Below
We carried out studies on CRT & LCD monitors. This is a power vs brightness graph (for a CRT monitors) that shows reduction in power consumption as the brightness levels were reduced down.

Power Saving...
The picture shows a large number of computers in an organization. The above strategy can have a great impact in such cases.
Research Crew
This is a picture showing Sanjana Rao and Sharanya Srinivasan, the ones who laid the foundation of this project. They were the ones who first implemented this idea as a project.
