Abstract:
Technology has the ability to provide greater
impact for less effort; and should be used as a
primary tool and motivator in the sustainability
movement. Green Information Technology, or
“Green IT” aims to solidify this idea by creating
and transforming new technology that aims to
solve some of the current environmental issues
facing humanity. Unfortunately, Green IT users
are often stuck in unhealthy work environments
that stifle their potential to ideate, create and implement. This is where Einstein's theory that "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it", comes in.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to facilitate these users to begin a sustainable, technological revolution. In order to understand how architecture can begin to create a healthy environment for this niche of telecommuters, the lifestyles, work habits, and developmental successes must be observed.
If architecture were to overcome the current
limitations, technology may finally have its chance
to prove itself as a positive contributor to the
movement towards a sustainable future.
