Green Computing

Green computing refers to environmentally sustainable computing practices including energy-efficient PCs and reduced power consumption. It has grown in importance due to rising environmental awareness and costs of powering computers. Approaches to green computing include virtualization, efficient algorithms, power management, recycling, and using renewable energy sources. IT vendors are developing more energy efficient products and services to reduce carbon footprints. While individual efforts like powering down computers can help, a systemic transition is needed over years through improved designs, materials, and business models to fully realize green computing's potential.

Energy Use of PCs


CPU uses 120 Watts CRT uses 150 Watts
8 hours of usage, 5 days a week = 562 Kwatts for a large institution, say a university of 40,000 students and faculty, the power bill for just computers can come to $2 million / year

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)
