Goals & Principles

Install

Opt for renewable electricity derived from natural sources, wherever possible

Consider a scheduled sleep-mode when the project is not in use

Enable idle or low power modes on any hardware that supports these features

Consider the efficiency of heating (and insulation) or cooling (and ventilation) requirements

Use energy efficiency as criteria when selecting equipment, not just up-front cost

Align with client on balance between sustainability and the need for visual impact

Think carefully about which tasks run more efficiently locally or which could be run on cloud/server infrastructure

Estimate and then evaluate the energy consumption of our projects
