This document discusses green computing, which refers to environmentally sustainable computing practices that minimize environmental impact. It covers the history and origins of green computing, approaches like green use, design, manufacturing and disposal. Specific strategies are outlined like using energy efficient CPUs, LCDs, power management settings, and recycling electronics. The advantages include energy savings and cost reductions over time, while disadvantages include high initial costs and performance sacrifices. The future of green computing is predicted to include more efficient and sustainable components as the norm.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Green computing or green IT, refers to environmentally
sustainable computing or IT.
 It is "the study and practice of Designing,
Manufacturing, Using, and Disposing of computers,
servers, and associated subsystems efficiently and
effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment.
 It is an environmental friendly IT where the main
objective is to reduce the hazardous materials and
maximize the energy efficiency .

4. Why is Green Computing
required?
•Computer consumes a lot of energy.
•Printing often unnecessary stuff is waste
•Reduce pollution.
•Reduce the power consumption
•reduce the global warming
•Toxicity.
.

5. •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.
HISTORY

6. Green Use
Green Disposal
Green Design
Green Manufacturing
Road to Green Computing

7. CPU uses 120 Watts
CRT uses 150 Watts
Energy use comes from
o electrical current to run the CPU, motherboard,
memory
orunning the fan and spinning the disk(s)
omonitor (CRTs consume more power than any
other computer component)
oprinters
Energy Consumption

8. •Product Longevity
•Software & deployment optimization
•Power management
• Materials Recycling
•Virtualization
•Algorithm Efficiency
• Power Supply
•Display
•Storage
• Telecommunicating
APPROACHES

9. Carbon Free Computing
 Solar Computing
RoHS Computing
Virtualization
Methods to implement Green
Computing

10. •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
•Use LCDs instead of CRTs as they are more
power efficient
•Use hardware/software with the Energy Star label
•Choose Intel & VIA Processors in comparison to
AMD Processors.

13. •Environmentally Sound Purchase
Systems
•Sustainable Green Computing Plan
•Reduce Paper Consumption
•Conserve Energy
•Recycling
Steps For Green Computing

14.  Energy saving
Environmentally Friendly
Cost-effective ( pays over time )
Save more money per year
Can give you a tax right off
ADVANTAGES

15. High start up cost
Not readily available
Still in experimental stages
Sacrifice performance for battery life
Not for everyone
DISADVANTAGES

16. The plan towards green IT should 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 in Computers,
the use of eco-friendly sustainable components
will become the norm rather than the exception in
future.
Future of Green Computing

17. The greenest computer will not miraculously fall
from the sky one day, it’ll be the product of years
of improvements. The features of a green
computer of tomorrow would be like: efficiency,
manufacturing & materials, recyclability, service
model, self-powering, and other trends.
