Green IT Summit

ENN Events - 0 sec ago

Ireland's move to a low-carbon economy is well under way. The country's third carbon budget delivered a new carbon levy, forming the cornerstone of the country's transition to a low carbon society. The forthcoming Climate Change Bill will for the first time, commit Ireland to a new statutory obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% from 1990 levels. IT can play a pivotal role in reducing carbon emissions. Soaring energy prices have put the focus on Green IT's ability to deliver reductions in energy costs. There is a growing awareness that Green IT can deliver significant reductions in energy costs as well as enabling improved efficiencies across the enterprise. In fact, cost reduction is the primary driver for Green IT. Gartner is predicting that Green IT will be one of the top 10 technologies that will be strategic for most organisations in 2010. The inaugural Green IT Summit aims to show you how adopting a Green IT strategy in your organisation can unlock huge energy savings, drive operational efficiencies, as well as make a major contribution to your organisation's CSR credentials.

It manifests itself in a desire to view graphs which generally rise from bottom left to top right, with the issue of what is being measured, and how, simply secondary to have a graph conforming to the correct shape.
