However, you could also argue that in winter running PCs reduce the heating costs. ;-) I don’t think that Edison takes air condition costs into account.

With a tiny investment of time and effort, you can save your company a small (or even medium) fortune and save energy at the same time. Does Edison take into account the additional savings that might be had from lower air-conditioning bills? After all, PCs generate a ton of heat, but if they're all in scheduled standby/hibernation, the office will be a lot cooler! This is a wake-up call to enterprises across the globe.

I think the main purpose of this tool is to show people how much CO<sub>2</sub> they can save if they take some time to configure power management properly. You can do that without Edison if you use different power plans. You then have to switch manually between them. I agree, Edison’s scheduling is very simple.

Scheduling could be far more flexible. I like it in concept but, you choose only one working hours schedule. for my home machine I would have evening on workdays and more time on weekends.
