benefits our clients during every step towards sustainability. The key phases in our
approach provide our clients with Justification, Prioritization, & Implementation.

buildings in your portfolio. We offer building audits, portfolio benchmarking, energy budgeting, and life
cycle analyses. W2 Group’s energy performance projects provide energy and operating savings to our
clients. The savings can pay for the capital costs to implement over a defined payback period.

assessment, asset renewal, and energy efficiency development to perform analysis of baseline
consumption, costs, and building performance levels. Then, we can provide detailed feasibility studies

GREEN IT
Green Initiatives
Green computing initiatives are one of the most
recent and significant new developments in IT.
While efforts to reduce energy consumption have
been active for more than a decade - The US
Environmental Protection Agency launched the
Energy Star program in 1992 - the sudden and
dramatic increase in energy costs in 2008
significantly raised the stakes for energy efficiency.
Green computing encompasses a wide range of
strategic, technological, organisational, and practical
considerations: selection of architectures and
operating systems, virtualization initiatives, storage
management, telecommuting, disposal of used
systems, and much more.
As a result, of the complex and multifaceted nature
of green computing, many IT organizations rely on
the W2 team to provide the insight and planning
services needed to develop an appropriate strategy.
Through our Green Initiative services, we can
provide you with the information, insight, processes
and methodologies you need to make your IT
infrastructure as energy efficient as possible.
