چکیده
Sustainability is the capacity to endure [1]. It has started to spread among different domains and disciplines of our life. Information Technology (IT) industry is one of these important fields that need sustainability to save huge amounts of energy and costs consumed by employed computers and communication technologies. We conducted a survey to figure out the knowledge of students and staff in our academic universities about sustainable IT or green computing. Our survey results indicate that (75%) of participants have connected sustainable IT to the environment friendly technologies and they are optimistic about future of them. Also, we found that most people in our universities lack sufficient knowledge about sustainable IT and cloud technologies. Therefore, there is a necessity for more efforts and educational programs to make such knowledge and services available in our academic institutions.
