Challenges in green coding – the academic perspective and experiences
summary
Literature review finds 1,870 papers → 78 titles → 58 read and surfaces few practical tools or standardized metrics; experiments include a student hackathon to build a green-coding course and test page analyzers (Alo Green Page, Beon) plus a TUR measuring environment for front‑end and back‑end energy, with results showing mobile is heavily studied, data‑center energy is underrepresented. Claims: IT emissions rival aviation and Google reports energy use up ~200% in five years; conclusion: metrics and tooling remain immature and organizational commitment is required.
