Green Computing

Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently while promoting environmentally friendly technologies. The goals of green computing are to reduce hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency, and promote recyclability. Green computing originated in 1992 with the US Environmental Protection Agency and focuses on areas like design for sustainability, power management, recycling, and energy efficiency. Measures for green computing include lower power management, virtualization, reducing energy consumption, improving disposal and recycling, and less pollutant manufacturing.

COMPUTING
Be with
nature with technology..
INTRODUCTION

Greencomputing is the study and practice


of using computing resources efficiently.

Green computing researchers look at key


issues and topics related to
energy efficiency in computing and
promoting environmentally friendly
computer technologies and systems
include energy efficient use of computers.
GOALS OF GREEN COMPUTING

Reduce the use of hazardous materials.


Maximize energy efficiency during the
product's lifetime.
Promote recyclability and
biodegradability of defunct products & factory
waste.
ORIGIN

1992 ----- U.S. Environmental Protection


Agency (EPA).
PATHWAYS

Green Use.
Green Disposal.
Green Design.
Green Manufacturing.
FOCUS AREAS AND ACTIVITIES

Design for environmental sustainability.


Power management.
Responsible disposal and recycling.
Energy efficient computing.
Virtualization.
MEASURES FOR GREEN COMPUTING

Lower power management.


Virtualization.
Reducing energy consumption.
Improved repair, re-use, recycling and
disposal.
Materials recycling.
Less pollutant manufacture.
1. Lower power management

Reduce cooling requirements.


Reduce noise.
Reduce operating cost.

2. Virtualization

It is the process of running two or more


logical computer systems on one set of
physical hardware.
3. Reducing energy consumption

Modern Computers are power hungry


things. There are many things we can do to
reduce the amount of power they use.

4. Improved repair, re-use & disposal


Electrical & Electronics equipment
Regulations were introduced.
5. Materials Recycling
Computer recycling refers to recycling or
reuse of a computer or electronic waste. This can
include finding another use for the system or having
the system dismantled in a manner that allows for the
safe extraction of the constituent materials for reuse in
other products.

6. Less Pollutant Manufacture

To reduce the amount of highly hazardous


materials from computer production.
CONCLUSION

Green computing offers more efficient & better


use of IT resources.
There is minimum use of unsafe materials.
It is promoting the use of recycled products.
It ensures the maximum energy conservation.
sowe can hope ,there is a state ,where most
computers are using far less power than they
needlessly waste today.
