Every line of code you ship consumes fossil fuels. Behind every API call stand server halls humming with heat, undersea cables pulsing with light, and cooling towers evaporating millions of gallons of water. Data center workloads will double by 2030, driven by AI training clusters and relentless digitization. The efficiency gains of Moore's Law have been swallowed by expansion—faster hardware simply means we build more, and absolute emissions keep climbing.
This book recalibrates your engineering instincts for a carbon-constrained world. The Green Software Foundation's Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification now treats carbon as a concrete metric, as measurable as latency or uptime. You will learn to read electricity grids like load balancers, understanding marginal carbon intensity, duck curves, and geographic optimization. You will profile code not merely for speed, but for watts, and optimize for the renewable energy mix of the grid at 2:00 AM versus 2:00 PM. You will calculate the operational and embodied carbon of your services, distinguish between the energy cost of a cached response versus a database query, and learn why temporal shifting of compute workloads is now a core infrastructure skill.
Inside, you will find:
• Why your caching strategy might be heating a coal-fired power plant • How to read an electricity grid like a load balancer, chasing lower carbon intensity across time zones • The real thermal cost of an unoptimized SQL query, measured in grams of CO₂ equivalent • Why ARM chipsets and AI model compression are now architectural necessities • How to right-size clusters for actual load rather than peak anxiety • When to shift compute temporally and geographically toward renewable abundance • How algorithmic complexity translates directly to energy draw and thermal output
The standards are set. The APIs exist. The science is settled. What remains is the work of implementation.
Call to Action: Pull the lever with open eyes. Start building software that respects the physics behind the screen.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
