Green computing implementation factors: UAE case study

Abstract

Green computing has been receiving lot of attention because of the growing environmental concerns and swelling energy consumption costs. Developments of computing performance and reduction in the consumption of energy and carbon footprints are among the most important objectives of green computing. Aim of this study is to explore and advance the green computing implementation practices among United Arab Emirates (UAE) organizations. Exploration of the green computing implementations in organizations within UAE revealed the awareness level of mere 41.23%, thus prompting the researchers to propose a model for the successful implementation of green computing. Proposed model derived from literature and validated among employees in various organizations in UAE aims to help organizations to go green.
