For you energy-minded IT professionals who prefer only to work with companies that are part of the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program, I wanted to alert you that power management software supplier BigFix has become an Energy Star partner. The company also has qualified for a number of electric utility rebate programs. So far, BigFix is working with Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric in California; Avista Utilities in Washington, Oregon and Idaho; and the City of San Francisco Energy Watch program.
