How Computing Harm
Environment
By electronic appliances.
Desktop requires 85 watts just to idle(Monitor off)
Left on 24 hrs/day-1,500 pounds of CO2 per year.
A tree absorbs between 3 and 15 pounds of CO2
each year.(up to 500 trees)
13
How Computing Harm
Environment
According to reports from the German Federal
Environment Office, devices consume around 17
billion (kWh) in a year in standby mode.
The CO2 dissipated from sleeping devices =
1/7th the CO2 emitted by an automobile.
Manufacturers do not provide a proper shut-off
button in devices.
Windows Vistas default shut down mode is a
deep sleep mode that requires power.

Hazardous materials inside computers.
These contain
Cadmium (damage your kidneys)
Mercury (neurological damage)
Lead (disrupt brain neurotransmitters).

19
Materials - IT Equipment Recycling:
If you can extend the working life of your IT
products, you reduce the environmental
consequences of mining, manufacture,
packaging, shipping and disposal.
Many organizations, including some
manufacturers themselves, are willing to take
equipment back and recycle the components
into new products.

COMPUTER RECYCLING
Computer recycling is the recycling or
reuse of computers.
It includes: reuse old computer that
are still good or a donation to charity,
or to be processed and reused into
other products.
Consumer recycling :
Consumer recycling options include
donating computers directly to
organizations in need, sending
devices directly back to their original
manufacturers, or getting components
to a convenient recycler.

Approaches to Green
Computing
Virtualization:
It includes Server virtualization,
Consolidation, Storage consolidation &
Desktop virtualization.
Our typical computer used up to a 220-
watt power supply; our thin client uses a
4.8-watt power supply.
22
Approaches to Green
Computing
Algorithmic efficiency:
The Efficiency of algorithms is used to
describe properties of an algorithm relating to
how much resources it consumes.
Algorithms are the base of any computing
system or electronic device, each and every
computer chip has a certain algorithm that
allows it to complete its function.
Even though these chips are small, they use
a lot of power.
23
Power Supply
Regular use of energy-efficient equipment and
continue to promote energy saving measures,
reducing the impact of development that adds to
greenhouse gas emissions and encourage the
development of creative ideas for creating
energy-efficient appliances and using more
efficient power supplies.

LCD displays: use a CCF bulb
LED displays: use an array of LEDs
LCD monitors uses 3 times less when active,
and 10 times less energy when in sleep mode.
LCDs are up to 66% more energy efficient.
LCDs are also smaller in size and weight.
21" CRT typically uses more than 120W.
25
Video Card
A fast VGA may be need the largest power consumer in
a computer
Energy efficient display option include:
No video Card use share terminal, share thin client, or
desktop sharing software if display required
Use motherboard video output typically low 3D
performance and low power
Reuse an older video card that uses low power. Many do
not require heatsink or fan
Select a VGA base on average wattage or performance
per watt.
$ CPU uses 120 Watts
$ CRT Monitor uses 150 Watts
$ Energy use comes from :
o electrical current to run the CPU, memory, the fan and hdd
o Monitor CRTs consume more power than any other component
o printers

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 LED Monitor, or 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.
Reducing the energy consumption
