This document summarizes several projects from the JISC Greening ICT Programme meeting in March 2011. 1) The Virtually Sustainable project studies the use of videoconferencing and virtual meetings to reduce travel and carbon emissions based on 15 years of research. Surveys were conducted of university staff, travel managers, and JANET VC users to quantify the impacts. 2) The Open to Change project at the University of Oxford explores using open data and social influence to encourage altruistic punishment or pro-environmental behavior. 3) The DUALL project aims to design an ICT interface connecting building users to their electricity consumption to understand how ICT can reduce energy use. Objectives

1. JISC Greening ICT Programme Meeting March 2011 Lightning Talks Slides

2. RESEARCH & EXPLORATION PROJECTS JISC Greening ICT Programme

3. Virtually Sustainable Peter James and Lisa Hopkinson SusteIT, University of Bradford Videoconferencing (VC) and other virtual meeting technologies as a means of reducing travel-related energy and carbon Builds on 15 years previous research Collaboration with WVN

4. Surveys Surveys in 5-10 universities on staff use of virtual meeting technologies – quantify travel impacts Survey of university travel managers from over 40 universities and colleges Survey of JANET VC users

5. Virtual Events Conferencing , Edinburgh, Aug 2010 The V-Factor , 4 Welsh sites, Feb 2011 (with Welsh Video Network) E-learning best practice , Bradford, April 2011

6. Cases & Briefing Papers Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor/Llandrillo - until recently ~25% of all the UK-wide calls handled by the JANET VC Service. University of Bedfordshire - uses VC to reduce travel and improve communication between 5 campuses. Glenda Davies John Wells

7. Final Report Provisional UK conclusions: Considerable use, but JANET a minority Hunger for more Key barriers – ease of use, information, technology focused support

8. Open to Change Open data + social capital = altruistic punishment University of Oxford

9. Do we believe this kind of graphic will persuade people to act?

10. Will this make it better?

11. What do individuals need to feel comfortable in doing their bit? To believe others in their groups are contributing To believe the contribution is meaningful in the real world in other words: To feel confident a few people are not cheating the system At least not enough to mean net energy consumption continues to rise

12. Towards altruistic punishment by University of Oxford: David Balch David White Howard Noble Ken Kahn De Montfort University: Richard Hall Richard Bull Lincoln University: Joss Winn

13. DUALL Deliberative approach to the living lab Dr Richard Bull and team. March 7 th , 2011

14. Aims : To understand the role of ICT in reducing energy consumption of a large scale public building through the design of an ICT interface connecting building users to their electricity consumption. Objectives : To design and test an ICT tool connecting building users to their energy consumption. To engage in an innovative, deliberative upstream approach in the design of the application. To understand the extent to which building users can impact the performance of the environment they are in. To understand the impact of ICT interfaces on user behaviour

15. Baseline Evaluation & Switch off

16. Deliberation/Engagement with users

17. Successful outcomes
