This document provides an overview of green computing. It defines green computing as the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers and associated systems efficiently and effectively while minimizing environmental impact. The document then discusses reasons for adopting green computing such as growing environmental awareness and regulations. It outlines approaches to green computing like virtualization, power management, and material recycling. It also provides examples of green computing initiatives from companies like Apple, Wipro, and Google and recommends steps organizations can take to implement green computing practices.

- 4. What Is Green Computing? "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."
- 5. Why Green Computing? Growing public environmental awareness Increasing impacts on environmental and human health Corporate social responsibility
- 6. About Green Computing • Origin • Regulations And Industry Initiative 1.Government 2. Industry
- 7. Roads To Green Computing • Green Use • Green Disposal • Green Design • Green Manufacturing
- 8. Approaches • Virtualisation • Algorithm Efficiency • Power Management • Power Supply • Display • Storage • Material Recycling • Telecommunicating
- 9. VIA Technologies • Carbon Free Computing • Solar Computing • Lead-free And RoHS Computing • Energy Efficient Computing
- 10. Role Of IT Vendors • Apple • Wipro • Google
- 11. 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)
- 12. Green Web Surfing Greener Google Browsing:Blackle.com Being Green with Yahoo! Greener FireFox Surfing Other Green Surfing Efforts
- 14. Steps For Green Computing • Environmentally Sound Purchase Systems • Sustainable Green Computing Plan • Reduce Paper Consumption • Conserve Energy • Recycling
- 15. Advantages • Reduce Energy Usage • Conserving Resources • Reduces The Risk • Saving The Energy • Saving The Planet
- 17. Recent Implementations Blackle Fit-PC Zonbu computer Sunray thin client The Asus Eee PC Other implementations
- 19. Future Of Green Computing The plan towards green IT should include new electronic products and services with optimum efficiency and all possible options towards energy savings.
- 20. Conclusion 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.
