Presentation: "Sustainable Architecture Design"

Time: Tuesday 16:15 - 17:00

Location: To be announced

Abstract: The need for IT systems that have less of an impact on the environment is becoming much more clear and is far more economically compelling than is readily recognised. In this presentation Kevin will explain he compelling need for sustainable architecture design and then provide a set of achievable architectural principles and constructs that can and should be adopted in the design of all applications. This will allow Architects to lower both the environmental cost of applications but also significantly lower the ongoing operating cost of applications.
