Understanding Green Computing Essentials

Green computing involves the environmentally responsible use of computers and resources throughout their lifecycles. It aims to reduce the environmental impact of computing devices. Green computing was originated in 1992 with the EPA's Energy Star program and focuses on approaches like power management, virtualization, and telecommuting to improve energy efficiency. While green computing has advantages like cost savings and environmental friendliness, it also has initial high costs and sacrifices performance for battery life. Future trends include more efficient and sustainable computer components.

INTRODUCTION
• Green computing is the environmentally responsible
and eco-friendly use of computers and their resources.
• In broader terms, it is also defined as the study of
designing, manufacturing/engineering, using and
disposing of computing devices in a way that reduces
their environmental impact.
• It is also called as Green IT
HISTORY

  Green computing was Originated in 1992 at the U.S


Environmental Protection Agency that launched Energy
Star program. 
 Shortly after that the term “Green Computing” was
coined.
WHY IS GREEN COMPUTING
REQUIRED?
 Impact of Electricity to the Environment

 Uses lot of electricity

 Impact of Toxic waste to the Environment


Green produts
WAYS FOR GREEN COMPUTING

 Turn off monitor

 Turn off hard disks

 System Standby / Sleep

 Hibernate
Approches to green computing

Virtualization
Power management
Videocards
Telecomuting
Advantages

 Improve the savings

 Eco-friendly and environment friendly


 Cost effective
 Save more money per year

SOME ADVICES

 When you must print, do it double sided.

 Edit on screen, not on paper

 Save to disk instead on printing on paper


Disadvantages

 High start up cost


 Not readily available
 Still in experimental stages
 Sacrifies performance for bateery life

Future for green
computing
The plan towards green ITshould include new electronic
products and services with optimum efficiency and all
possible options towards energy savings.

That is enterprise wise companies are laying emphasis on


 Moving towards eco friendly components computers
sustainable computers will become than the exception in
future
Conclusion
Green computing can lead to a lot of energy
savings,reduction of emissions of CO2 and cfc'swhich
leads to a environment protection

 The features of green computer of tomorrow would be


like: efficiency, manufacturing, and materials

Recylability:server model,self powering and other trends
