First ECO-Friendly Adult Porn Tube Site
Can websites be ECO? They can and even should be. At Eporner.com headquarters, at one of the meetings we calculated out of curiosity how much electricity is necessary to provide services. Consumption of energy by users and servers was taken into account. The calculations were very averaged, but they more or less reflected the reality.
The amount of power consumed by a computer depends on many factors, primarily the components used and the power of supply itself. Any computer under load will consume about 300 W. This includes a set with an LED monitor. It consumes 7,2 kWh during 24 hours. Eporner.com is visited by an average of 10 mln users. Let's say, 5 mln of PC users and 5 mln of mobile devices users (to simplify the calculations). On average, PC users spend 10 minutes on the site. In total, it will be 833 hours during one day. If computers of these users consume 300 W of electricity, PC users will consume 250 000 kWh on the Eporner.com site per day. Similarly, users of mobile devices spend an average of 10 minutes on the site, which together with identical calculations gives 833 hours a day. However, mobile phones consume less energy. About 0.0192 kWh during 24 hours. Total power consumption by users of mobile devices will therefore be 16 000 kWh. All in all, Eporner.com users consume 266 000 kWh of electricity during 24 hours. It is only electricity they use in their households. In addition to electricity consumed by the users, electricity is also consumed by servers. It is estimated that energy consumption of the server gives a total of 120 kWh per day. In total, energy consumption for rendering services at the current level is 386 000 kWh per day, which is nearly 11 580 000 kWh per month!
With the number of over 11.5 million kilowatts per month, everyone got struck dumb. We were wondering how to reduce the website's energy consumption. There were ideas which allowed to significantly reduce the consumption of electricity. First, the focus was on the content transfer speed. By reducing film buffering time by 3 seconds per each material (i.e. delivering materials at the highest speed), each user viewing an average of 10 films saved 30 seconds of power consumption. This gave a total of 12 833 kWh of electricity savings per day, or 385 000 kWh per month for PC and mobile devices users.
Saving energy by focusing on material transfer speed is one thing. It was also important to focus on energy quality. We don't have much influence on the source of power in the users' sockets, but we had an impact on the servers. So we chose servers powered from sources in regions which mostly produce renewable energy. And this is how we maintain our servers. We also encourage other entities from the industry to do this. We decide how we want the servers to be powered when purchasing them. Let's choose the ones powered by renewable sources. According to the data, the production of 1 kWh from coal emits 909 grams of CO2 and from wind only 13 grams. At 140M kWh per year, as in the case of Eporner.com, you can generate 128 tons of CO2 from coal or 1,8 ton from renewable sources. The choice is yours. Eporner.com focuses on renewable sources and savings in energy consumption, both on the website and the user’s point of view. Because we have influence on both.
