Grid-aware Websites – A New Dimension in Sustainable Web Development


Details
Speaker: Fershad Irani (The Green Web Foundation)
How can a website’s frontend respond to the state of the electricity grid? In this talk, Fershad Irani introduces The Green Web Foundation’s latest initiative: Grid-aware Websites.
This project empowers designers and developers to build websites that react to the type of electricity powering a visitor’s session – adapting design and features to reduce environmental impact during high-carbon periods.
Fershad will cover:
- What it means for a website to be “grid-aware”
- How to start using the open-source toolkit
- Examples of adaptive frontend behavior based on grid conditions
- The intersection of sustainability, performance, and UX
A must-attend session for anyone exploring sustainable design and eco-conscious frontend development.
