EcoLogic™ is After Dark's new feature to save energy.  EcoLogic can put EnergyStar™ compliant monitors into low power mode as well as turn off your computer.  You can control which EcoLogic features are enabled and when they will occur.

Furthermore, the estimated annual savings by using EcoLogic is also calculated.  The savings is calculated by comparing the yearly energy cost of running your computer and monitor 24 hours a day versus the cost when running with EcoLogic.  The cost of running with EcoLogic depends on how often and how long After Dark is asleep.  Since this will vary for each user, the calculations use 2 one hour periods and 1 two hour period of idle time per day.  These numbers are based on our analysis of computer usage as well as outside studies.

Remember, the calculations are only an estimate.  Your actual savings may vary.
