This report is based off a lessons learned sources document attached separately, the categories are: Issue Name, Problem/Success, Impact, and Recommendations. The Issue names are Planning/Content, Project milestones, Project Processes and Behavior. This report list failures and success of this project.

Explain the background to the project and how it relates to the key strategic plans.

Perform an Internet search on the phrase “green computing” and then answer the following questions:

A Project Charter was created indicating the Project Name, Chartered Date, Sponsoring Organization, Project Start Date, and Target Completion Date. The Project Sponsor, Project Black Belt, Project Green Belt, team members, and the corresponding roles and contact information were identified. The project goal, process problem, scope of the project, process importance, and authorized resources were also outlined (see Figure 1).

In accordance with project plan, this project will be completed on February 1st, 2007, one day before the scheduled completion date. On remaining one day, project manager has planned to obtain feedback from stakeholders and team members, and conduct post-completion meeting. On February 2, 2007, project

A plethora of environmental problems face us at Cornell College, one of the key issues being energy waste. On any college or university campus there are dorms or living facilities. These facilities require a large amount of energy, and students overuse and waste it. We can change actions towards energy conservation by knowing concepts of psychology like: cognition, personality, motivation and, social influences (persuasion) to help us change student’s attitudes and behaviors. One way to combat energy waste is to turn to green defaults, therefore implementing proenvironmental behaviors with little effort done by students themselves. Another energy saving idea is the idea of Blackout Blocks, turning off energy

College students focus on three main things: classes, studying, and socializing. One rarely thinks about how they can make a difference in our environment. When visiting the University of Arkansas at Little Rock one can observe packed parking lots, immense amount of plastic water bottles sitting on a student’s desk, various vending machines for quick accessibility, stacks of paper for notes and homework, and tons of unrecycled items in garbage cans. With over 11,000 students in attendance at the University, it is vital that all students come together and make the decision to save the environment by going green. Why go green? The earths carbon footprint is increasing daily and if we take the steps now we may be saving our earth forever. What is a carbon footprint and why does it matter? Carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide which is what can cause climate change (Time for change). As climate change is developing rapidly, it is now affecting all forms of life on earth. The daily tasks one completes around campus can actually be contributing to climate change and one may not realize it. It is my campaign strategy to raise the importance of the subject, and urge students to go green. My general hope for the campaign is that students will be motivated to go green around campus, and establish green practices in their daily routine. The main

Content: Will explain the project the main idea. It will be who, what when where and why of the project.

This document is prepared based on various sources of research: academic article, books, technological literatures and other web articles. Appropriate references have been provided for the related source.

It is commonly known that our large carbon footprint has impacted our environment in a negative way and if mankind does not change our ways of mass consumption and over use of finite resources we will become difficult to life as we know it. Yet this common knowledge does not seem to be enough motivation for all people. Integrating environmental sustainability into universities (Ralph, 2013). This article illustrates the drivers and barriers to moving towards an environmentally sustainable university. As universities are a large source of energy production, students should also be educated on the environment. This awareness of our carbon footprint should be integrated into the learning curriculum. “The United Nations (UN) Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 placed education for sustainable development on the global agenda and as one of the top priorities in national policy documents” (Anderberg et al. 2009). The article suggests that

Project Manager: Douglas Branson, 901-344-0979 x. 32, mbranson@digidev.org Summary Schedule: The Green Computing Project will follow a six month schedule. Components of the project have been divided into phases.

So much of an enterprise’s IT infrastructure today involves networking technology hardware and software that it is virtually impossible to conceive of low carbon emissions without addressing the networking aspect of the infrastructure. Green networking in essence is just a reference to the principle of gaining a more efficient networking infrastructure that utilizes less energy. Broadly speaking, the only way to achieve green networking is build the concept of “energy-awareness” into the actual design of the network architecture before it is built out (Bianzino, Chaudet, Rossi & Rougier). Corporate managers that become hyper-sensitive to the energy profile of their organization can reduce energy usage simply by being more cognizant of how they manage the network. This research project explores these and related elements of the green networking concept in greater detail.

In addition to this, another research shows that cloud computing (Dheera Jadhwani, Mayur Agrawal, Hemant Mande, 2012) is a platform for the next generation IT infrastructure which enables organizations to consolidate for computing resources, reduce management complexity and speed the response to business dynamics. Thus, the improvement of the resource utilization and reduction of power consumption are major keys to the success of operating a cloud computing environment. So, by adopting green computing practices, any business can contribute positively to environmental protection through energy reduction and reducing paper costs.

This chapter will briefly discuss on the project overview. The project problem statement, scope or objective, proposed solution, methodology, schedule and budget of the project will be presented in this chapter.

The objective is to define the resources, project alternatives, time lines and other project related information.
