Data collection on the environmental impact of cloud computing (eco-cloud computing) on the basis of a life-cycle approach

In the project, tools will be developed on the basis of LCA methods in order to determine the environmental impact of data centers. In this context, allocation rules are being developed in order to be able to allocate the consumption of energy and resources to the various cloud services and business fields. The tools are field-tested and further developed into a valuation method for cloud services.
