4. Introducing Green IT
Courses
Green IT: Fundamentals Green IT: Design and Green IT: Choosing and
Implementation Implementing the Right
Find out what Green IT is,
what its components are, and Carbon Emission
Learn how to develop and put
what are the key techniques into place a comprehensive Management Software
and tools in each area. Green IT strategy. Find which CEMS product is
right for you.
“
I think it is very timely for a leading and reputable training
organisation like Excom to be developing and delivering
courses around “Green IT” to ensure that there is a growing
group of resources able to take full advantage of
”
implementing strategies to minimise the impact of IT on the
environment, and to use IT to the fullest extent in this regard.

9. What is Green IT?
“… the study and practice of using computing
resources efficiently” ‐ wikipedia
“… the environmentally responsible use of computers
and related resources. Includes the implementation
of energy‐efficient computer and peripherals as well
as reduced resource consumption and proper
disposal of electronic waste” ‐ data centre definitions
13. Green Corporations
need Green IT
IT’s function is to provide:
● The Monitoring Capability
● The Information Repository
● The Reporting Tools
2000s 2010s
20. BPM and Green IT
• IT is a key component of BPM
• Greener Workflow
– Paperless Billing
– Claims Processing
– Freight Management
– etc.
Mobility Facilities Production Technology Communications
+ + + +
• The “Green Supply Chain”
23. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is Internet ("cloud") based
development and use of computer technology
whereby dynamically scalable and often
virtualised resources are provided as a service over
the Internet.
Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or
control over the technology infra‐structure "in the
cloud" that supports them.
The concept incorporates software as a service
(SaaS), Web 2.0 and other recent, well‐known
technology trends, in which the common theme is
reliance on the Internet for satisfying the
computing needs of users.

25. The SaaS Revolution
• SaaS is a BPO issue
• ASP becomes SaaS
Warehouse
• Salesforce.com …
• Atoms vs electrons
26. Problems with Offsets
• No standards or
oversight
• Excuse for inaction
• Introduced at Kyoto
as a way to balance
developed vs non‐developed
countries
• No guarantees of positive
outcomes
29. Doing the sums
• 1x 100w PC = 1 KwH for 10 hrs
• 100 x PCs = 100 Kwh for 10 hrs
• 1000 PCs = 1 MwH for 20 hrs
• 1000 PCs = 200 MwH for 1 year
• Electricity = 20c / KwH or $200 / MwH
• 1000 PCs = $40,000 a year
30. End User Technologies
Thin Client Computing
Traditional Network
Each application runs locally on every PC. The
local network is sufficient to carry the
necessary data between servers and PCs, but
remote connections are too slow to support
remote users
Thin Client Network
The Thin Client server runs applications on behalf
of the users, and only sends monitor, keyboard
and mouse information to the user's PC or
terminal. Remote connections are able to
support this small amount of data, allowing
remote users to run office applications at speeds
similar to that of office users.

34. The Connection Research
Green IT Survey
• December 2008
• Email survey of IT managers & CIOs
• 262 responses
• Quantitative and qualitative analysis
• Vendor ratings
• Key demographics to enable bench‐
marking and detailed comparisons
– Industry sector (ANZSIC)
– Organisation size (Employees

54. The Atmosphere
– what is it?
An unlikely combination of reactive
gases that has existed relatively
unchanged for hundreds of millions
of years
In dynamic balance ‐ there is
constant change and interaction,
but the overall composition stays
the same
Finely tuned:
N2 78.10%
O2 20.95%
Argon 0.90%
= 99.95%

55. Greenhouse Gases
The trace gases make up only 0.05% The 6 GHGs
but have enormous effect:
CO2 280 ppm (0.03%) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Methane 1.7 ppm Methane (CH4)
Ozone 40 ppb Nitrous oxide (N2O)
crucial to temperature regulation….. Perfluorocarbons (PFC)
… a bit like hormones in the human body Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC)
… very small concentrations but crucial Sulfur Hexaflouride (SF6)
57. Carbon Dioxide (CO2‐e):
The Numbers
• has not been exceeded for past 650,000 years
280 ppm: Pre-industrial levels at least
• Unstable weather, strong storm events,
387 ppm: today droughts
• 2°C temp rise, loss of Great Barrier Reef, sea
450 ppm: if we act now level rise of 0.8m, reduced food and water
security
• 2‐4°C temp rise, widespread biodiversity loss,
550 ppm: if we act slowly decreasing agricultural productivity, sea level
+2‐3m
• Threat of runaway warming, inability to adapt.
> 550 ppm business as usual
We really don’t want to go there

59. Federal Government
CPRS commitments
– versus 2000 levels
Original White Paper Goals
• 5% Unconditional by 2020
• 15% Conditional on a good outcome
in Copenhagen
• Original Kyoto 60% reduction by
2050 – Unconditional
Most Recent Change
• 25% ‐ “if the world agrees to an
ambitious global deal to stabilise
levels of CO2 equivalent in the
atmosphere at 450 parts per million
or less by 2050”
60. Business & Market Drivers
• Government legislation and regulation
• Price pressure as cost of carbon starts to
impact goods, services and utilities
• Increasing public and consumer awareness
• Changing customer sentiment
• Businesses as agents of social good
Source: CarbonSystems
• Reputations and brands protection
• Investors assessing climate risk
• Broadening focus from shareholders to
stakeholders and community
66. Starting the
Measurement Process
• Do you need to report? How
to do a rough calculation
• Online calculators
• Make vs Buy – Do you need
a measurement tool?
68. The CEMS
Software Market
E.g. household E.g., market trading
measurement and and/or offsets
monitoring devices management systems
E.g., business unit/dept
energy consumption
analysis and reporting
E.g., equipment
based/specifications power
consumption measurement
Measurement Reporting Monitoring Mitigation Trading
FUNCTIONAL FOCUS
