Energy efficiency in software development is increasingly critical for achieving energy-saving goals and reducing CO₂ emissions. However, it remains unclear to what extent energy consumption is actively considered in software development practices. This survey seeks to capture your experiences with green software development — software design, development, and implementation with a focus on energy efficiency.
The primary goal of this study is to uncover the current priorities, challenges, and requirements for creating energy-efficient software. Your input is essential for identifying gaps in education, technical adoption, research, tooling, and awareness. By contributing, you help pave the way for a more energy-conscious approach to software engineering in the future.
