INTRODUCTION

• Also called as Green IT.

• It is an environmental friendly IT where the main objective is to reduce the hazardous materials and maximize the energy efficiency .

• Reduce the power consumption and thus reduce the global warming.

Why is Green Computing required?

• Computer consumes a lot of energy.

• Printing often unnecessary stuff is waste.

• Reduce pollution.

• Toxicity.

History

• It originated in 1992 at the U.S Environmental Protection Agency that launched Energy Star program.

• Shortly after that the term “Green Computing “ was coined.

• Shortly after that the Swedish also launched the TCO Certification.

Energy Consumption

• CPU uses 120 Watts.

• CRT uses 150 Watts.

• Energy use comes from electrical current to run the CPU, motherboard, memory

running the fan and spinning the disk(s)

monitor (CRTs consume more power than any other computer component)

printers

Pathways to Green Computing• The following are the pathways to green

Reducing the energy consumption

• Turn off the computer when not in use,

even if just for an hour.

• Turn off the monitor when not in use (as

opposed to running a screen saver).

• Use power saver mode.

Reducing the energy

consumption

• Use LCDs instead of CRTs as they are more power efficient.

• Use hardware/software with the Energy Star label.

• Don’t print unless required.

• Choose Intel & VIA Processors in comparison to AMD Processors.

Benefits• Improve the savings.

• Eco-friendly and environment friendly.
