AVAYA believes the online energy saving calculator which it has launched will help businesses determine how much energy they can save. The Avaya energy saving calculator establishes how many kilowatts of energy, tons of carbon and litres of petrol or diesel can be saved annually. This is based on the number of home working days a company permits its staff. Among the results include the amount of energy saved by reductions in heating and lighting at office locations and by staff not travelling back and forth to work on a daily basis.
