| dc.description.abstract | In an era of increasing concern about environmental integrity and stability, all sectors of
society including individuals, institutions, industry and government are re-examining their
relationship with the environment. In recent years, Dalhousie University has attempted to reduce
its environmental impact by increasing energy efficiency and reducing waste. However, these
efforts have taken place in the absence of a guiding framework or strategy; the school does not
have an environmental policy in place. As a result of this lack of direction, there are several
issues to which no attention has been paid-one of which is energy consumption by computers in
campus computer labs. We deemed it necessary to perform research which would begin to fill
the void in data surrounding this issue. | en_US |
