Paper Conservation in Athena Clusters

This paper discusses conservation strategies within the Athena Clusters, focusing on optimizing paper usage. It highlights the significant print statistics, with over 10 million pages printed and an energy consumption of 470,000 kWh. Despite a potential 63% reduction in header page printing, user reluctance remains due to convenience and lack of knowledge. The study analyzes the effectiveness of double-sided printing defaults and suggests further interventions to promote sustainable printing habits. Key recommendations include reducing header pages, increasing double-sided printing, and providing educational resources.
