Environment Friendly Green University campus focus on ICT
Summary Now a day’s Information Technology (IT) is playing an increasingly important role all over the world – in both business and individuals’ private lives. All the University in the world are focusing on environmental protection and improvement [1]. We are living in an era of industrialization. We are consuming a lot more products in our lives as compared to our ancestors; this is to improve the quality of life by saving time, facilitating ourselves and much more. Most of the world industries are grown with certain pace and they have achieved maturity with the time. Then there are many environmental control authorities and regulatory authorities which enforce certain environmental protection laws upon them. But unfortunately as far as Environmental protection is concerned Information and Communication industry is growing at such a faster pace that such kind of controls are not fully implemented or observed by ICT industry[2]. This is a huge danger for the world environment. The main focus has mostly been upon competing with the competitors and introducing latest technology as fast in the market as possible. It is also consuming ever greater amounts of energy and is therefore the source of significant CO² emissions. According to calculation IT now causes the release of as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as nearly 320 million cars, worldwide IT now generates CO² emissions of about 600 million metric tons a year. Green IT can help curb this alarming trend. Simply by consistently implementing known energy-conserving approaches, the CO² emitted by IT systems can be nearly halved [3]. “Green IT”
