The Bellevue College Media Maintenance department is deploying new software called Global Viewer in order to manage classroom projectors.\u00a0 So far 83 projectors are online with the software, a project that can ultimately save the campus energy and money if it is used to the fullest potential.<\/p>\n

Projector lamps cost around $300 dollars each and consume about 300 watts of energy when the lamp is in operation.\u00a0 Most lamps usually last around 2,000 hours (about 4 years) and the cost of replacing a projector is around $1,500.\u00a0 But that time frame is directly related to the lamps operating hours which means it could need replacement sooner if it is not managed properly or kept ON when not in use.<\/p>\n

Global Viewer is not something that will be visible to room users, but here\u2019s a screenshot:<\/p>\n

While the primary purpose of Global Viewer is to support staff and track usage, it can also help cut down on unnecessary and costly energy consumption from lamps running all night long since the Media Maintenance department can now schedule projectors to be turned off overnight through Global Viewer.<\/p>\n

How you can help… During regular hours you can do your part by turning off projectors in empty classrooms.\u00a0 <\/b>But also make sure you\u2019re not fooled by the \u201cDisplay Mute\u201d button which does not shut the projector off, it only mutes the display.\u00a0 You will need to use the \u201cDisplay\u201d ON and OFF buttons to actually control the projector power.<\/p>\n

Another way you can help is to also remember to power off other displays that do not have the \u201cDisplay\u201d ON and OFF controls.<\/p>\n

With the installation of Global Viewer and our individual help, we can all be a part of saving energy and money on the Bellevue College campus!<\/p>\n
