Abstract
Actualmente, casi todo el mundo es consciente del problema energético que enfrenta la humanidad: nuestras fuentes primarias de energía se están agotando, mientras que la demanda, tanto en entornos comerciales como en los domésticos, es cada vez mayor. Por otra parte, los efectos secundarios del uso de las fuentes tradicionales de energía traen importantes consideraciones ambientales globales. En este trabajo se ofrece una respuesta a la pregunta: ¿Qué papel juegan los equipos informáticos en la demanda de energía, y dónde debemos focalizarnos para reducir el consumo y mejorar la eficiencia energética?
