Abstract

Energy consumption induced through information technology, i.e. hardware and software, is constantly increasing. In this article, we present the “Blue Angel”, a label that evaluates and classifies the resource and energy efficiency of software. In particular, the process by which the label was developed is presented. We also describe the components of the Blue Angel: Energy and resource efficiency of the software product, hardware useful life and user autonomy. Finally, we give an outlook on the possibilities for expansion, since the first version of the label focuses especially on desktop software, mainly because of the complex measurement issues. According to evaluations from expert workshops and interviews, this is the best starting point for reliable results and certifications.
