High Performance Computing (HPC) Carbon Footprint System

HPC Carbon Footprint Calculator is web based system which is designed in conjunction of raising the awareness of people towards the greenhouse effect and environment sustainability. HPC is stand for High Performance computing which is actually a data centres for Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.
This system is used to calculate the amount of carbon emitted based on the electricity consumption of air conditioners and personal computer (PC) data collected by HPC. HPC have the device that connected to its power supply box. The electricity is taken however there is no initiative to convert it into carbon emitted. With this system, HPC can know how much carbon emitted throughout it operation. This system can be a kick start program to raise awareness for UTP peoples and can make initiative to reduce the carbon emission. Along with this system is a integrated website to calculate general carbon footprint such as transportation.
Rapid application development (RAD) methodology has been selected to be used for the project development phase. The calculator then will be shows the carbon emitted. The system will also include the information of Green Data Centre design. It is to give knowledge on how HPC should design data centre to make it greener.
