It sets out a number of principles:
1. Build applications that are carbon efficient.
2. Build applications that are hardware efficient.
3. Reduce the amount of data and the distance it must travel across the network.
4. Build carbon-aware applications.
5. Focus on step-by-step optimizations that increase the overall carbon efficiency.
Whatever types of software are being deployed and however it is being developed it is important that the sustainability implications of decisions are recognized. Green software standards will come.
