ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 Question 76
ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 — Question 76 of 80
Green IT refers to practices that reduce the environmental impact of information technology — lowering energy consumption, carbon emissions, and electronic waste.
Using web conferencing instead of travelling to meetings (d) directly reduces carbon emissions from transportation, which is a classic Green IT initiative.
Why not others:
- (a) A "powerful" in-house data center implies high energy consumption — the opposite of Green IT
- (b) Efficient software is good practice, but "efficient" here refers to performance/functionality, not environmental impact
- (c) A desktop PC typically consumes more energy than a thin client laptop — this goes against Green IT principles
Key rule: Green IT = reducing environmental impact of IT (less energy, less travel, less e-waste). Look for answers that explicitly cut carbon footprint or energy use.
