One way to save energy in your laptop is to dim the display when you are not using it in a specific duration of time.
Saving battery life in a laptop is important and 1-way to conserve its power is to dim your display, turn-off or set it up to sleep in a period of time when you are not using it.

Lets Get Started
Click the power or battery icon on your system tray or notification tray and click More Power Options
from the dialogue window, click change plan settings on your current power plan, in our example we are using HP recommended plan.
