The document discusses green computing which it defines as the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers and associated equipment efficiently and with minimal environmental impact. It provides tips for green computing such as using LCD monitors instead of CRTs, powering down peripherals when not in use, properly disposing of e-waste, measuring power usage effectiveness, managing airflow, adjusting thermostats, and using free cooling to remove heat from facilities without using chillers. Green computing saves the environment, is cost effective, reduces waste, and provides a safer environment for younger generations.

2. “The study and practice of designing,
manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers,
servers, and associated subsystems—such as
monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking
and communications systems — efficiently and
effectively with minimal or no impact on the
environment."

3. Origins

7. Power-up and power-down
energy-intensive peripherals
such as laser printers according
to need.

8. Use liquid-crystal-display (LCD)
monitors rather than cathode-
ray-tube (CRT) monitors

11. Dispose of e-waste according to
federal, state and local regulations.

14. Measure Power Usage Effectiveness

15. Manage Airflow
.

16. Adjust the thermostat

17. "Free cooling" is removing heat from your facility without using
the chiller. This is done by using low temperature ambient air,
evaporating water, or using a large thermal reservoir. Chillers are
the dominant energy using component of the cooling
infrastructure; minimizing their use is typically the largest
opportunity for savings. There is no one 'right' way to free cool -
but water or air-side economizers are proven and readily
available.

19. •Saves environment
•Is cost effect
•reduces waste
•Provides a safer environment to our younger
generation
And has many more advantages !!!
