How is Krizp saving energy?
Krizp was created by CTRL Internet to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to save energy. Krizp searches are powered by Google Custom Search.
Krizp saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002
There has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages.
We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Krizp every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.
