“…Although 80% of the students were reported to have a correct understanding of green computing, their practices however did not reflect this understanding. Raza et al (2012) proposed the idea of teaching users to understand how power consumption impacts the "greenness" of any technology, believing it to be an essential step toward reducing wasteful energy consumption. Efforts to educate the young generation through educational programmes in schools and universities are already under way in the U.S., Hong Kong, India, parts of Europe, and the U.K. (Murugesan, 2013).…”

“…Green design aims to analyse, create and synthesize ecological friendly products with outstanding efficiency. IT based industries usually disregarded environmental effects during design and as such hazardous wastes were discarded without the ecological issues being considered [12]. Therefore Green design in IT based industries data centers should consider energy proficient and deployment of ecologically sound servers, cooling equipment and computer components such as Light Emitting Diode (LED) monitor, etc.…”

“…This phase in IT based industries data centers involves taken steps toward applying Greener prospect by changing their data centers operations to more competent activities and also increasing the reutilizing and reusability rate of the existing infrastructures deployed in the data center [12]. As suggested by Pichetpongsa and Campeanu [13] in Green production every procedure involved in running the data center electronic components, computers and other related subsystems should indicate a low or no effect on the natural environment.…”

The progressive upsurge in demand for processing and computing power has led to a subsequent upsurge in data center carbon emissions, cost incurred, unethical waste management, depletion of natural resources and high energy utilization. This raises the issue of the sustainability attainment in data centers of Information Technology (IT) based industries. Green computing practice can be applied to facilitate sustainability attainment as IT based industries utilizes data centers to provide services to staffs, practitioners and end users. But it is a known fact that enterprise servers utilize huge quantity of energy and incur other expenditures in cooling operations and it is difficult to address the needs of accuracy and efficiency in data centers while yet encouraging a greener application practice alongside cost reduction. Thus this research study focus on the practice application of Green computing in data centers which houses servers and as such presents the Green computing life cycle strategies and best practices to be practiced for better management in data centers in IT based industries. Data was collected through questionnaire from 133 respondents in industries that currently operate their in-house data centers. The analysed data was used to verify the Green computing life cycle strategies presented in this study. Findings from the data shows that each of the life cycles strategies is significant in assisting IT based industries apply Green computing practices in their data centers. This study would be of interest to knowledge and data management practitioners as well as environmental manager and academicians in deploying Green data centers in their organizations.

“…It is implemented when IT professionals systematically utilize IS in their institutional process, carbon foot print analysis, and ecological management in the production and development activities [44]. Moreover, it also encompasses IT based low CO 2 solutions such as IP telephony, telecommuting, web based campus services, thin client, virtual collaboration, and videoconferencing [45].…”

“…This practice reduces installed power capacity and enhances energy e ciency in powering and cooling of IT assets of the university [1,44]. This process aims to decrease energy consumption by optimizing power utilization without decreasing the installed power base [45,46]. Lastly, end of life comprises practices that reduce ewaste by repairing, re-deploying, disposing, refurbishing, retaining, or reusing outdated IT hardware in an environmentally friendly manner [47,48].…”

Information Technology (IT) usage in university campuses consumes an enormous amount of power and incurs other costs in cooling and related operations. Currently, universities are infusing environmentally friendly initiatives in their campuses. However, IT professionals in most universities are not still sure how to infuse and assimilate environmentally friendly practices. Hence, green Information Systems (IS) are suggested for the utilization of technologies and systems in a greener and more sustainable planet. Accordingly, this study provides a review of existing green IS practices and further proposes a decision support framework based on Case Based Reasoning (CBR) technique. The proposed framework utilizes CBR to support the decision making of IT professionals in infusing and assimilating green IS within university campuses. Findings of this study show how the framework utilizes CBR to support IT professionals in assimilating green IS lifecycle and infusing green IS determinants. Furthermore, they show how IT professionals can green their university campuses. Moreover, this research study would be of interest to data and knowledge management community as well as environmental scientists and sustainability researchers.
