In line with good practice, energy savings measures in the PC suites are as follows: ‌

• After 20 minutes of idle time, the hard disk and monitor are put into sleep mode.  
  Hitting a key or moving a mouse will wake them up. 
  
  
• After 1 hour of idle time, PCs are shutdown. To wake up a PC, the power button should be pressed. 
  
  
• At night all PCs are shut down from 22:30. They can be woken up the following day by pressing the power button.  
  
  
• If a user remains logged in when the PC goes into shutdown state, any unsaved work will be lost.
