Comments on: Is environmentally friendly web design important? http://www.etondigital.com/is-environmentally-friendly-web-design-important/ Most of us have struggled with poorly designed websites that are hard to find and slow to access; sites that lack coherent internal navigation and contain links that lead nowhere. we audit, design, develop and improve web sites Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:03:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: dlevi http://www.etondigital.com/is-environmentally-friendly-web-design-important/#comment-28 dlevi Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:51:23 +0000 http://www.etondigital.com/is-environmentally-friendly-web-design-important/#comment-28 Hi Steve, Good point - I guess we have solved one challenge only to move onto the next one. So it goes... Anyway, the single biggest use of energy in modern offices is lighting; if we could devise a more efficient use of this power the potential for cost-cutting, and a greener office, would be quite considerable. Rooftop solar panels seem a logical solution for many high-rise buildings, or perhaps harnessing energy from the motion of a building's lifts (if significant) could go some way to make certain offices more self-reliant regarding power needs. It seems architects have as big a role to play as scientists in meeting these challenges... Thanks for reading Dejan Hi Steve,

A question I have never thought about was "Is environmentally friendly web design important?". I suppose on a simple level the paperless office leads to less tree's being cut down, however is the energy used by the PC's in the office counterbalance this? A very interesting post!
