+# Introduction
+
+When deploying Surface devices in point of sale or other “always-on”
+kiosk scenarios, you can optimize power management using the new Surface
+Brightness Control (SBC) app.
+
+Available for download with [Surface Tools for
+IT](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=46703), SBC is
+designed to help reduce thermal load and lower the overall carbon
+footprint. The tool automatically dims the screen when not in use and
+includes the following configuration options:
+
+  - Period of inactivity before dimming the display.
+
+  - Brightness level when dimmed.
+
+  - Maximum brightness level when in use.
+
+**To run SBC:**
+
+  - Install surfacebrightnesscontrol.msi on the target device and SBC
+    will begin working immediately.
+
+# Configuring SBC
+
+You can adjust the default values via the Windows Registry. For more
+information about using the Windows Registry, refer to the [Registry
+documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/sysinfo/registry).
