The document discusses green computing, focusing on the concept of green assets, which include various environmentally sustainable resources such as buildings, data centers, networks, and devices. It highlights methods for optimizing these assets for energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact, as well as the role of green information systems and technology in achieving sustainability goals. Lastly, it provides references and resources for further study on green computing strategies and practices.

GREEN ASSETS AND MODELING

2. 2
▪ Anything that has social, environmental and/or economic value that
is owned by an individual, business, family or community.
▪ Includes
▪ Intangible,
▪ Non-physical assets
▪ Resources and rights and
▪ All things that have value
because they give firms and communities some type of advantage.

GREEN ASSETS
▪ Solar → prepaid energy expenses
▪ Parks, Public Transit → fixed asset
▪ Clean Air → intangible asset
▪ Zero / Low Energy Home → tangible asset
▪ Energy Efficient Equipment → lower operating expenses

BUILDINGS
▪ A ‘green building’ (sometimes called a ‘sustainable building’) is
one that has been rated ‘green’ by a green building rating system,
or, in the absence of such a rating, a building that is recognized as
‘green’ in the media or in the surrounding community.
▪ The development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs

DATA CENTERS
▪ A green data center is a repository for the storage, management, and
dissemination of data in which the mechanical, lighting, electrical and
computer systems are designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum
environmental impact.
▪ The construction and operation of a green data center includes advanced
technologies and strategies like.,
▪ Minimizing the footprints of the buildings
▪ The use of low-emission building materials, carpets and paints
▪ Sustainable landscaping
▪ Waste recycling
▪ Installation of catalytic converters on backup generators
▪ The use of alternative energy technologies such as photovoltaics, heat pumps, and
evaporative cooling
▪ The use of hybrid or electric company vehicles

▪ Green networking is the practice of selecting energy-efficient
networking technologies and products, and minimizing resource use
whenever possible.
▪ How it is possible?
▪ Implementing virtualization
▪ Practicing server consolidation
▪ Upgrading older equipment for newer, more energy-efficient products
▪ Employing systems management to increase efficiency
▪ Substituting telecommuting, remote administration and videoconferencing for
travel

GREEN SUPPLY CHAINS
▪ Green Information Systems (IS) refers to the use of IS to achieve
environmental objective.
▪ Green Information Technology (IT) refers to the practice and study
of using IT and computer resources in a more environmentally
responsible and effective manner.

▪ Green IS refers to improving the flow and management of
information, while Green IT refers more to the hardware and
other infrastructure that can be better managed and designed
from an environmental perspective.

IS AND IT INFLUENCE ON THE ENVIRONMENT?
▪ Green IS and IT have just started to display their unique practical
contributions, both negative and positive, to the environment.
▪ Green IS and IT will necessarily include both infrastructural and
organizational aspects of environmental technology.
▪ Expanding the focus to environmental sustainability includes
considering its integrated nature and sets of systems (including
people, processes, software, and information technologies) to
support individual, organizational, environmental, and social goals, and
may need more nuanced investigation and consideration.
