For Quad, It's Easy Being Green

Whenever possible, Quad/Graphics facilities use natural cooling—through evaporative cooling towers mounted on the roofs of its plants—instead of mechanical cooling for processes that require chilled water, thereby saving millions of kilowatt hours of electricity each year. It is also in the process of outfitting 4,500 PCs with power management software that automatically puts them into “sleep” mode when not in use to save power. When the project is complete, the printer will use 1.26 million fewer kilowatt hours of electricity annually and save a projected $70,000.
