Data mining algorithms are usually designed to optimize a trade-off between predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper introduces energy consumption and energy efficiency as important factors to consider during data mining algorithm analysis and evaluation. We extended the CRISP (Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining) framework to include energy consumption analysis. Based on this framework, we conducted an experiment to illustrate how energy consumption and accuracy are affected when varying the parameters of the Very Fast Decision Tree (VFDT) algorithm. The results indicate that energy consumption can be reduced by up to 92.5% (557 J) while maintaining accuracy.
