The Green IT Framework gave organisations a map. This book gives them the tools to use it. Implementing Green IT: A Practitioner's Guide is a hands-on companion to the DASCIN Green IT Framework — written for IT leaders, sustainability managers, and anyone responsible for turning environmental commitments into operational reality. Each chapter moves from principle to practice: you will learn how to build a Green IT strategy that earns executive support, establish a measurement framework that produces numbers you can defend, implement changes across hardware, software, processes, practices, and data storage, and embed the kind of continual improvement that keeps a programme alive beyond its first year.
The book introduces the Green IT Impact Score (GIIS) — a composite metric that translates your organisation's performance across all five framework components into a single, trackable number — and walks through every formula with fully worked examples. Whether you are starting from scratch or trying to give an existing initiative more rigour, this guide gives you the structure, the metrics, and the practical guidance to make progress that is measurable, reportable, and real.
