Carbon Reduction Software
The world's most advanced energy management system. See what's on, see what's off, accurately measure how much energy is being used and then reduce it.
"We save 28,000 hours per day" Customer calculation, 2011
littleFOOT™ provides accurate business intelligence and significant results in reducing your digital carbon footprint. Without hardware, our unique Virtual Power Meter measures actual power consumption of digital devices. The system then delivers significant reductions in carbon and provides auditable data for carbon reporting.
Our SaaS or internally hosted system enables companies to closely manage and optimise their digital environment. Energy management policies can be applied based on hardware or user characteristics resulting in dramatic savings - a recent customer calculated savings of 28,000 PC hours per day.
Harnessing the power of your people and nudging behaviour has huge potential to boost sustainability initiatives. We inform and enable users to make a passive and active difference with tangible feedback. littleFOOT™ provides cost effective results, accurate reporting and the reputational benefits of engaged employees.
You cannot manage what you cannot measure, and achieving targets is impossible without a starting point. The Virtual Power Meter is a world first and underpins the littleFOOT™ suite of products and provides the auditable level of accuracy and reporting that an organisation requires to truly address energy and carbon management.
Other software may apply estimated values for PC 'on time', but the Virtual Power Meter measures many times per second the actual power consumption of a device which will vary greatly depending on the specific model and what it's being used for.
This data, combined with the littleFOOT™ Portal, and our Asset Scanning software, enables the deployment and optimisation of energy management policies across a network and report accurately on savings. The policies can be optimised for both device characteristics and end user behaviour.
Whatever your energy tariff, however efficient your hardware is, littleFOOT™ will significantly reduce the number of hours 'on', and accurately tells you how much energy was used and how much was saved.
The Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford demonstrated that an additional 15% of energy savings can be achieved using effective end user engagement. littleFOOT™ provides simple tools and tangible feedback via an on-screen Widget.
In addition to 'passive' energy management, an employee can actively increase their savings by adjusting the settings to suit their work-style. (Within preset parameters).
The Quick-Stop button sends the PC to a predetermined state such as 'Standby' or 'Off' – saving energy over lunch or a coffee break. A few times a day across an organisation adds up to many hours of saved energy. This also engages employees in the broader sustainability agenda, with the level of engagement being measured to enable tuning of internal communications to optimise results
While we can compare the carbon values of 'cheeseburgers' to 'air-miles' we are proud of the levels of accuracy that we achieve. Based on carbon data provided by 3rd party government sources such as OFGEM and the National Energy Foundation. We also reflect carbon values in countries where differing fuels are used for energy production.
