11. Vision
Aggregate all the energy data on Earth
- all the environmental emissions factors
- all the methodologies and standards
- all the consumption data
12. Why
We need to reduce CO2 emissions by 80% - starting yesterday
To avoid mass-extinction events*
We could wait for “new tech” or “clean tech”
or “legislation” (and legislation is coming)
* yes, really
18. Information Footprint
> 50% of organisations don't have decent email retention policies*
> 40% have no document classification policy*
“storage is cheap” - more please
clouds don't actually help here!
Targets: only store what we need.
Throw data away. Store on the least energy-intensive device
*source: EMC
19. Why are you building an app?
fun?
throwing sheep?
making money?
changing the world?
saving the Earth?
20. Good Things
don't build that thing – build that other thing that's more useful
switch it off, or get it to switch other things off
use virtual servers/ clouds (scale dynamically with load)
optimise, refactor, be smarter, be elegant, less brute force, monitor
slow cook computing
23. Good Things
change procurement cycles (watch Government)
“clean energy” data centres
“just in time” provisioning
low-level languages (machine code in the cloud?)
24. todo
make your app self-aware of its energy. disclose it.
make your app's users self-aware of the app's consumption
make your users self-aware of their own consumption
26. Good Things
make things that encourage less use
make things that encourage low-carbon/low-energy behaviour
encourage smarter movement (e.g. dopplr)
video conferencing – change habits
please could we have a better Webex? a more efficient Second Life?
(A Second Life citizen has the same foot print as the average Brazillian)
27. Good Things
give everything an energy identity
build “smart-grid” behaviour into everything
build what comes next
share it :: be disruptive :: rethink it from the ground up

(home footprint)
AMEE enables
Building Power portability around
the user's data.
Assessor Company
AMEE is the neutral
“3rd place” that allows
data to be passed up,
Building Smart down, and across,
the supply chain.
Certificate Meter
AMEE anonymises
the data it holds
to maintain privacy.

(travel footprint)
In this example, a GPS-
enabled mobile phone
Travel Service Mobile service can derive the mode of
(dopplr.com) (FireEagle) transport.
Using AMEE as the
trusted 3rd party, it could
Locative Mobile pass that information to
dopplr.com, a social
community phone network based around
travel.

transport
opt-in sharing
31. Resolution
Make energy YOUR performance metric
Shut down power stations
Re-invent the (power) grid(s)
Reduce all travel
Measure and visualise all of it
32. Resolution
we don't just need change
we need systematic redesign
of the future
