The fact that digitalization comes along with a lot of negative effects onto the environment is slightly known in the case of energy consumption by hardware, especially regarding mobile devices, having a limited battery life. However, awareness of environmental issues of software, being the driver of hardware, is mainly missing, even if the research field addressing corresponding issues is growing. Thus, the doctoral thesis at hand addresses the question How to draw (a) developers and (b) usersattention to environmental issues of software? By presenting (a) a calculation method of the carbon footprint of software projects and (b) a concept for an eco-label for software products, evaluated by a user survey, the doctoral thesis provides two strategies how to draw the attention to environmental issues of software. Summarizing, this thesis can act as a basis for further research in bridging from science to society in the context of environmental issues of software. Its findings can be seen as starting points for practical implementations of methods and tools supporting a more environmentally friendly way of developing software and informing about environmental issues of software usage. In order to get the implementation of the research results of the thesis going, it highlights practical implications for diverse groups of stakeholders - researchers, certifiers, public administration and professional purchasers, and environmental associations - that have been identified as being important for the practical implementation of the presented concepts and, thus, represent the target group of the doctoral thesis.
In Museen und Umweltzentren hält die Computertechnik Einzug. Erst in der Verwaltung zur Datenverarbeitung, dann in den Magazinen als Katalogersatz eingesetzt, breitet sich in den letzten Jahren der Computer in den Besucherbereich als Ausstellungsmedium aus. Die Ausstellungsmacher werden mit einem neuen Medium konfrontiert, welches den meisten von ihnen fremd ist. Während ihnen andere Medien der Ausstellungsgestaltung bekannt sind und sie deren Vor- und Nachteile kennen, ist ihnen allein schon die digitale Technik unvertraut.
