KIOSK Information Systems Inc. has built a fan-cooling system to save an estimated 3,300 kilowatt hours of energy per year at each of its new computer kiosk terminals, according to a story in the Boulder County Business Report.
As KIOSK grows, its employees hope to offer customers the lowest possible carbon footprint and cost savings, said Don Stark, KIOSK's chief-technology officer. The new equipment costs about 20 percent less to produce than current units, he said.
"The economic benefit to an outdoor deployer makes the fan conversion even more compelling," Stark said in the story. "The combined savings associated with omitting the air-conditioning unit and using conventional (personal computer) technology is substantial."
