Green desktop computing

We recommend working through the following five steps:

  1. Estimate your energy consumption.
  2. Research what others have done to improve efficiency
  3. Implement tools to reduce energy consumption
  4. Communicate to help people do their bit
  5. Share your experiences with others.

The steps are designed to encourage groups to develop and share their experiences of implementing energy efficiency initiatives. Here we use the 5 steps to reduce IT-related energy consumption, focusing on desktop computing.
