Green Coding

About the project

Software, as a basis of the Internet, has a significant influence on energy consumption, energy efficiency, and the useful life of hardware, and therefore on the energy and resource consumption of the Internet. Despite its great importance, general regulation or even recommendations for sustainable software are still in its infancy.

In the project "Potentials of Green Coding", the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW) and the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld of the Trier University of Applied Sciences are developing concepts and recommendations for anchoring Green Coding.

The project is funded by the ISOC Foundation from June 2022 to December 2023.
