Abstract :
To develop more powerful, service-specific strategies for reducing IT´s carbon footprint, we need more complete and widely understandable specifications of services that describe exactly a service´s functionality, the level of quality it achieves, and its environmental consequences. The concept of green specifications offers such an approach.
