Overview

To fully understand the implications of Green IT, we had to go beyond our traditional focus on enterprise IT usage, and consider the energy-intensive processes used in IT hardware manufacturing as well as the energy-saving value of IT to the wider economy. We found that much of the current Green IT emphasis is misplaced. It focuses almost exclusively on data centres and PC power management, which together account for only about 2 percent of overall energy usage. While more attention must be paid to the considerable energy used in IT manufacturing, it is the huge potential energy savings that IT can bring to the wider economy that will create the most important business opportunities.
