More educators view cloud computing as energy-saving option

An annual survey of different industries, including K-12 and higher education, reveals that attention to energy efficiency and “green” computing is increasing-though barriers just as cost however prevent complete implementation partly.

The survey included about 152 respondents from each of several industries: the business/nonprofit sector, the federal government, state and local government, higher education, and K-12 education.

In the report, green computing is defined as “products/services that are energy efficient, water efficient, bio-based, environmentally preferable, or non-ozone depleting.”

Barriers to broader green computing initiatives include lack of budget and other projects that take more priority.
