At Medfields we generally concentrate on energy efficiency, reducing resource consumption and disposing of electronic waste in a responsible manner. Technology is responsible for bringing increase of global connectivity and has controlled a lot in spreading awareness on social aspects that were once ignored. Now a day’s technology not only connects but also ensures that it gives back some percentage of its social responsibility. Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources. Such practices include the implementation of energy efficient central processing units (CPUs), servers and peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste. Computers today have become a necessity not only in offices but also at homes. No doubt, computers have made doing various tasks very easy and efficient; they pose a great problem, which is affecting the environment adversely. As the number of computers is increasing day by day, so do they consume the amount of electricity, which in turn is increasing the carbon content in atmosphere. People have realized this problem and measures are being taken which help in minimizing the power usage of computers. Superficially, this can be called as Green Computing. In a deeper sense, Green Computing is the study, which lays stress on the operation of computers and related peripherals in order to minimize the carbon footprint.
We at Medfields are aware on our corporate responsibility. We owe it to our environmental philanthropic and ethical labor practices. We are happy to go an extra mile to contribute to our environment and doing donations to national & local authorities. We treat our employees fairly & ethically to ensure their safety & prosperity. Recent study says that electronics make up approximately 1% of the municipal solid waste stream. Electronic waste is growing at the rate of 3 times the rate of the municipal waste. Donate the old computers to needful like schools, non-profitable organizations & lower income family are our ideal targets. We support the recycling of the computers by electronic recycling organizations. We encourage use of power safety surge protections and Back up ES.
Smarter & Solar powered building
It has been estimated that building uses about 30% of electricity. Within a span of 2030 building would be the largest emitter of green house gas. Medfields located at Infopark, Cochin has the best building structure that could manage all type of energy to maintain has a Green House Office and roof of all buildings at Infopark are installed with Solar Panels. This would benefit the company to reduce energy consumption and reduces operating cost, which we could provide for accounting standards that would help other business firms.
Green Data Center
We could find tremendous growth in IT for the past few years. At the same time there has been lot of challenges in regulations, rising energy costs, expanding datacenters. We build on a green infrastructure and focus on clear infrastructure and we manage data centers, facilities and building management systems to reduce costs, reduce operational problems and prepare rapidly emerging regulatory environment. We have advanced approach to manage and control energy beyond the data center which solves most of the today’s energy issues.
