Accelerating UI GreenMetric Certification

Powering ESPE's Green University Vision

A strategic alliance to drastically reduce ESPE's IT carbon footprint, directly boosting your UI GreenMetric ranking while generating self-sustaining funds to reinvest in campus-wide sustainability.

The Silent Emitter

The Hidden IT Carbon Footprint

Universities leave thousands of computers running 24/7 to ensure IT updates and remote lab access. This creates a massive, unnecessary draw on the energy grid, generating hundreds of tons of Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions annually.

The actual productive use of a typical university computer represents less than 30% of the time it remains powered on, needlessly inflating the university's carbon baseline.

70%

Unnecessary Emissions

Strategic Alignment

Direct Impact on UI GreenMetric Score

PowerPlug directly addresses the core indicators of the Energy & Climate Change (EC) category, which accounts for 20% of the total UI GreenMetric ranking.

EC

Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Program

Provides a university-wide, automated software policy that actively reduces Scope 2 emissions, proving institutional commitment to GHG reduction.

EC

Total Carbon Footprint Reduction

Mathematically lowers the total carbon footprint of the campus infrastructure, providing auditable data for certification reporting.

EC

Energy Efficient Appliances (Smart IT)

Transforms thousands of existing standard PCs into highly energy-efficient, context-aware smart devices.

GD

Governance & Sustainability Reporting

Generates precise, automated CO2 and energy reduction reports, fulfilling the 'Sustainability Report' indicators seamlessly.

Technical Framework

Secure, On-Premise Integration

Designed to operate entirely within ESPE's firewall, ensuring strict cybersecurity compliance without compromising the "Wake-Up" flexibility needed by IT.

Green Reporting Console

Admin console to define dynamic eco-policies and export automated CO2 reduction reports for UI GreenMetric audits.

ESPE Local
Server

PowerPlug Server

Hosted locally with fully encrypted traffic. For maximum security, 100% of your data stays on ESPE's own servers and never goes out to any external cloud or source. It strictly communicates only with its internal agents.

Smart Eco-Agents

Lightweight software on each PC. Applies carbon-saving policies and allows remote Wake-on-LAN for users or IT maintenance.

Implementation

4 Steps to Carbon Reduction

A seamless deployment process delivering verifiable environmental impact in under 4 weeks.

1

Targeted Pilot

Software deployment across a controlled, representative cluster of computers at the Sangolquí campus.

2

Machine Learning

For 14 days, the system operates passively, mapping real-world user habits, idle times, and "PC insomnia".

3

Impact Evaluation

Activation of eco-policies to mathematically prove the exact percentage of CO2 emissions reduced.

4

Campus Roll-out

Full deployment across the 3,800+ devices to consolidate ESPE's new sustainability baseline.

Operational Validation

CLALIT Health Services

As Israel's largest healthcare organization, Clalit's infrastructure validates PowerPlug's ability to operate in massive, hyper-distributed, and critical environments without disrupting operations.

  • Network spans nearly 2,000 locations.
  • Seamless deployment across 40,000 PCs in under two weeks.
  • Continuous partnership enhancing environmental policies for over 10 years.

Unlocking Green Capital

Beyond the direct CO2 reduction, the resulting financial savings from the energy bill are retained by the university to reinvest in other critical UI GreenMetric categories.

0 Initial Cost

No upfront CAPEX or infrastructure investment required.

Success Fee Only

PowerPlug is sustained by a small percentage (~30%) of the proven savings.

ESPE Retains ~70%
