Virtual ‘Nightwatchman’ saves money and the environment in the Town Hall
New technology in the Town Hall will ensure it saves energy and money - helping deliver the Lib Dem commitment to a greener, more efficient council.
The ‘nightwatchman’ is a piece of new computer software being trialled by the council’s IT department. It shuts down any computer that’s left unattended - saving any files and data before switching the power off, then restoring it when the computer is turned back on. It is estimated that the nightwatchman programme will save £40, 000 a year and cut CO2 emissions by 250 tonnes.
The nightwatchman programme is just one of the ways in which Lib Dem-led Camden is becoming more efficient and environmentally-friendly. It’s also a small step towards meeting Camden’s 10:10 pledge to cut emissions.
