Motivation for Green computer, methods used in computer science program

Computer science educators are uniquely positioned to promote greater awareness of Green computing, using the academic setting to encourage environmentally conscious use of technology. This paper reports on practical techniques that can engage faculty and students, enabling Green computing to be integrated into the classroom and research laboratory. Analysis and empirical evaluation of each reported technique is given, comparing the efficacy of each in terms of energy, environmental and financial cost savings. These results are provided as technological and economic evidence for the benefits of Going Green, and to promote education in Green Computing in the classroom, department and research lab.
