A Green IT maturity model (GITM) provides a framework in which the maturity of an organization's green computing effort can be assessed. Based on green computing practice data, an assessment tool implementing a GITM model can be used to calculate the competency levels of multiple green computing pillars such as data center, end user computing, IT asset lifecycle, IT service management and people practices pillars. The determined competency levels can be used to determine a consolidated Green IT maturity level for the organization. A Green IT baseline of an organization can be determined and carbon emission reductions relative to the baseline can be used in determining the competency levels. The assessment tool can use the competency and maturity levels to recommend green computing initiatives and to estimate cost savings, implementation costs and carbon emission reductions for the recommended initiatives.
