Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The financials reported are departmental purchases at the Campus Computer Store. A very small number of desktop, laptop and monitor purchases are made from other suppliers. For example, the total annual purchases at Futureshop and London Drugs (combined, including IT accessories and non-IT items) for 2011 was $88,103.
The majority of non-EPEAT purchases were Mac desktops and Windows laptops.
