Green
IT simply refers to the concept of saving energy and energy resources by
controlling the energy consumption, where possible i.e. home or office. It does
not necessarily mean replacing the existing equipment but managing the
equipment such that energy is saved. For instance the present equipment can be
completely turned off when not in use and hence save energy. It also includes
using simple calculation to display energy saved by power management. The
amount of energy saved can easily be calculated by just taking the meter
reading. But for more efficient and accurate reading of power management
high-tech gadgetry can also be used. The concept of going green can also go
beyond just saving energy. It can also include recycling of redundant equipment
responsibly. But recycling equipment is not possible in day to day basis and is
a rather more complex matter. However, a person doesn't need to be an expert of
power management to save energy in a daily basis. Even with a little effort like
switching the equipment to the plug, huge amount energy can be saved. Green IT
is a very important issue and everyone should be devoted to control energy
wastage and save energy.
Even
a small change can make a big difference.
My
Energy Consumption
The above calculator can be used for
calculating the energy consumption and to find out how much energy has been
wasted while the equipment is plugged in 'sleep-mode' or 'off-mode'. It
automatically calculates how much energy has been spent and the amount of
energy that can be saved with just a little effort. Such kind of calculator
helps to manage and control wastage of energy.
The
concept of green IT is very essential for the good health of the environment
and for effective cost management. Even through small efforts positive changes
can be achieved in terms of power consumption and carbon emission.
