Abstract

The rapid expansion of mobile applications has led to increased energy consumption and carbon emissions, which are now regulated by more stringent national and international environmental laws. This paper presents GREEAM (Green and Energy-Efficient Mobile Architecture Model), a novel framework designed to help mobile ecosystems comply with evolving environmental regulations while maintaining high performance. GREEAM incorporates context-aware task scheduling, intelligent workload offloading, and renewable energy-based optimization to reduce power consumption and carbon emissions without compromising service quality. Simulations conducted in Internet of Things (IoT), mobile healthcare, and smart city scenarios demonstrate that GREEAM decreases energy consumption by 28%, reduces latency by 22%, and lowers device carbon emissions by up to 31% compared to conventional systems. These advancements support the attainment of mandated carbon-reduction and energy-efficiency objectives. By integrating regulatory compliance into its foundational design, GREEAM provides a practical, deployable solution for sustainable mobile ecosystems that meet both technical and legal requirements.
