Cox is taking an active part in improving the energy efficiency of our boxes. Along with other members of the telecom industry, Cox has signed a voluntary agreement around reducing the amount of energy consumed by video boxes.
- Cox and other companies post information about the energy consumption of their boxes on energy.cablelabs.com.
- Through Cox Conserves, Cox has goals to send zero waste to the landfill in the next 10 years and become carbon and water neutral in the next 30 years.
Media Coverage
The US Energy Department put out a press release regarding new cable industry standards. Key points from the Press Release are listed below.
- The new standards were developed through a non-regulatory agreement between the pay-TV industry, the consumer electronics industry, and energy efficiency advocates.
- Ultimately enough electricity will be saved each year to power 700,000 homes and will avoid more than 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
