J. V. Mashalkar, S. K. Kasbe, M. B. Bhatade . Green Computing: A Case Study of Rajarshi Shahu Mahavidyalaya, Latur, INDIA. International Journal of Computer Applications. 62, 2 ( January 2013), 40-44. DOI=10.5120/10056-4647
College campuses and universities can use the concept of green computing very efficiently. The paper aims to assess awareness levels of IT users with regards to Green Computing; that is using IT in ways that are not harmful to the environment. A recommendation will be given on how Green Computing strategies can be implemented at RS College. Green computing is the study and practice of efficient and eco-friendly computing resources. Some common green computing practices include turning of the monitor when its not in use or using more energy efficient monitors like liquid crystal diode (LCD) instead of the traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors. The objective of this paper is saving electricity consumption in computer science and information technology of RS College Latur In Case Of LCD and CRT monitors. This paper gives a description about laboratories of department of computer science and IT. Also, the paper explains the need of Green Computing at department of computer science and IT . The conclusion of the case study illustrates the saving in electricity by using some methods like payback period. Statistics were sought to establish the levels of awareness of negative impacts of IT and of environmental sustainability awareness or green computing.
