Economical Point. Carbon Taxation- A number of countries has implemented carbon taxes [21] or energy taxes and Cap and Trade System [22] that is very much effective to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions while stimulating technological innovation and economic growth. The taxation may create political or social unrest in some cases; therefore, it may be difficult to impose. In 1990s, a carbon/energy tax was proposed at the EU level but failed due to industrial lobbying but in 2010 the European Commission implemented a Pan-European minimum tax on pollution under the European Union Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) [21] which is quite successful. According to this new plan, 4 to 30 euro would be charged per ton of carbon emission. On the other hand, in US, the Cap and Trade gave more assurance to decline GHG emission and also has some political advantages [22]. Therefore, according to different country’s economic, social or political culture, carbon taxation or Cap and Trade policy should need to be established and this information need to put into the new GSLA. cabling etc. The building costing also need to consider designing cost, manufacturing cost, renovation cost and finally dismantling cost of an IT facility or data center. All these costing information should come into proposed new GSLA. The cost of civil engineering is also associated with carbon emission indicators in each step. It is important to note here that; the new green datacenter have an environmental impact in their lifespan. For example, most of the green datacenter uses natural resources (air, water) for cooling purpose but also at the same time it dissipates heat directly to the atmosphere, which might create imbalance in the surrounding eco-system of that datacenter. Table III showed the economic performance indicators and their measuring unit for evaluating new GSLA. TABLE III. GSLA PROPOSAL UNDER ECONOMIC PILLAR OF SUSTAINABILITY informative, thus making new GSLA assessment difficult. For example, Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) could be used for evaluating satisfaction level of a customer through designing and analyzing survey. In addition, User satisfaction could be rated from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates worst level of satisfaction and 5 is the preferred level. Moreover, the ICT Company should analyze social responsibilities towards Customers, Employee and Community [8, 24]. Table IV gives the idea of these responsibilities as performance indicators with respect to ethics for greenin...
