Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the main relevant standardization bodies and organizations (national, international, industry groups, standards bodies and regulators) as well as projects, initiatives and actual standards in the field of Green IT, and more especially in the Data Centre area. The co-operation between these different organisations and their different point of views and working areas are also investigated. A critical analysis concerning the motivations and approaches of academia and industry towards the various standardization bodies and initiatives is given.
