Abstract

The energy consumption of information and communication technology (ICT) is still increasing. Since several concepts regarding hardware solutions for Green IT exist, the contribution of software to Green IT is still not well investigated. This comprises the production and the usage impact of software on energy consumption. In our paper, we discuss this contribution. Especially, we present a model that integrates Green IT aspects into software engineering processes with agile methods in order to produce “greener” software from scratch.
