 What is
Green
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

Computing
environment.
In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched
Energy Star.
• It’s a voluntary labeling program that is
designed to promote and recognize energy-
efficiency in monitors, climate control
equipment, and other technologies.
• In 2012 alone, American families and
businesses have saved $24 billion on utility
bills.
• Prevented greenhouse gas emissions equal
to those from 41 million vehicles.

1. Shutdown your computer
Computers are some of the biggest energy users. Turn your monitor off at night and ditch
the screensaver.
2. Choose the right light
LED bulbs are the most energy efficient lighting option.
3. Eliminate vampire power: unplug idle electronics.
Devices like televisions, microwaves, scanners, and printers use standby power, even
when off. Some chargers continue to pull small amounts of energy, even when plugged
in.
4. Use a power strip to reduce your plug load.
To avoid paying for this "vampire power," use a power strip to turn all devices off at once.
5. Turn off the lights
Just one switch and you're done!

Reducing Energy Consumption

We are super awesome!
•  Computer virtualization is the process
of running two or more logical computer
systems on one set of physical
hardware.
