Survey: Many government contractors unaware of 'green' technology
Washington Business Journal - by Tierney Plumb Staff Reporter
Half of today's government work force appears unfamiliar with the concept of "green" information technology, according to a new survey.
Less than 20 percent of federal workers surveyed by 1105 Government Information Group said their organization has measurable goals or outcomes related to green technology initiatives and products.
"Although environmentalism and green business are on the minds of public sector professionals, and the general public, this survey indicates that only half of government employees are familiar with the concept," said Christina Condos, vice president of events for 1105 Government Information Group.
1105 Government Information Group, a provider of integrated information and media to government agencies, surveyed 268 public sector workers.
The group produced Tuesday's Green Computing Summit held at the Ronald Reagan Building in D.C., where members of the General Services Administration and the Department of Energy discussed ways to reduce energy use, carbon emission, and costs through such initiatives as the Energy Star and EPEAT programs.
The random survey sample came from Federal Computer Week and Government Computer News subscribing senior executives, program managers, and technical managers.
