Buildings use approximately 40% of the energy in the US. Buzzwords like “going green” and “energy efficient” are more prevalent today. LEED is a rating system, which provides designers the opportunity to tailor their design to reduce the impact on society and the surroundings. It is an integrated process involving the architect, landscape architect, civil engineer, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) consultant, lighting designer and contractor. As a design team these professionals evaluate energy trade offs within a conceptual design to create a functional building. This session will focus on LEED V4. It will target LEED’s definition, history and categories. More importantly, how to become a LEED accredited professional and LEED’s V4 holistic approach to building design.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

5. Laptops -is your’s G-One or RA-One
• Laptops are made of many Toxic materials like
Dioxins,Polychlorinated Biphenyls(PCBS) ,Cadmium ,Chromium
,Radioactive Isotapes ,Mercury and Lead.
• If Not treated properly they are sources of Toxin and
carcinogen , releases materials such as lead, mercury, or
cadmium into the soil, groundwater, and atmosphere, thus
having a negative impact on the environment.
• According to Greenpeace, some brominated flame
retardants (BFRs), used in circuit boards and plastic
casings, do not break down easily and build up in the
environment. Long-term exposure can lead to impaired
learning and memory functions.
6. • Circuit boards contain considerable quantities of lead-tin solders that
are more likely to leach into groundwater or create air pollution due
to incineration. The processing-like incineration and acid treatments-
required to reclaim these precious substances may
release, generate, or synthesize toxic byproducts. They can also
interfere with thyroid and oestrogen hormone systems and exposure
in the womb has been linked to behavioural problems.
• PVC is a plastic used in some electronics products and for insulation on
wires and cables. Chlorinated dioxins and furans are released when
PVC is produced or disposed of by incineration. These chemicals are
highly persistent in the environment and many are toxic even in very
low concentrations.
• Companies may find it cost-effective in the short term to sell outdated
computers to less developed countries with Tax regulations. It is
commonly believed that a majority of surplus laptops are routed
to developing nations as "dumping grounds for e-waste”.
• Climate Change caused by dumbing or recycling process
• If treated properly laptops are valubale sources for secondary
raw material.
8. Energy Star or EPA
• A Program launched by Envoironment Protection Agencies
in 1992
• ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy
helping us all save money and protect the environment
through energy efficient products and practices.
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants
caused by the inefficient use of energy;
• Make it easy for consumers to identify and purchase
energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills
without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort.
• The TCO and EPEAT labels below use the Energy Star
energy consumption criteria.
9. Energy Saving Trust
• A UK government energy efficiency
program, an Energy Saving Trust
Recommended desktop computer will use
around 40% less energy in a year than an
average new computer.
• Carbon Foot Print Measuring and rating.
10. EU Ecolabel
• The criteria cover the life cycle of the product
from manufacture to disposal and include
energy use, limits on the use of hazardous
materials and recyclability of the product.
11. EPEAT Label
• EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment
Tool) is managed and operated by the Green
Electronics Council, a US NGO. The label covers criteria
for design, production, energy and materials use and
recycling with ongoing independent verification of
manufacturer claims after registration. EPEAT evaluates
electronic products in relation to 51 total
environmental criteria, 23 required criteria and 28
optional criteria. Products are then ranked by EPEAT
according to three tiers of environmental performance
– Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
12. TCO
• TCO is a widely respected international eco-label
developed by a Swedish trade union. It is a voluntary
scheme which is third party verified. It uses Energy Star
criteria for energy consumption, and a wide range of
specific criteria for different products including limits
on toxic chemicals and design for recycling. The TCO
certification system also requires that the brand owner
actively promotes social responsibility
• TCO Certified goes beyond green by combining
features such as high performance and ergonomic
design with one of the toughest environmental
requirements on the market.

30. BEST WAY TO USE IS !
• Deploy stand-by mode. Computers can be configured to go into sleep, standby, or
hibernate mode if left unused after a period of time. EPA recommends having
them go into such a mode after 30 to 60 minutes of inactivity, though setting it for
a shorter period of time saves even more energy. Using the sleep or hibernate
mode can cut an average computer's power consumption by half, the agency
estimates. Keep in mind hibernation is not the same as running a screen-
saver, which does not, contrary to popular belief, save any energy. EnergyStar
offers a free program called EZ Wizard that walks you through the process of
setting up power-management features in Microsoft Windows XP. Power-saving
software is available for the Macintosh as well, through the Power Save Mac
software.
• Extend laptop lifetime. Does your current laptop do everything you need? If
so, consider holding onto it for a while longer. These days, even models five or six
years old can execute almost all currently offered software. Getting more life out
of your laptop not only saves you money but makes more efficient use of the
materials that have already been deployed. If you do get a new laptop, and your
old model still works, consider donating it to a non-profit, such as Computers with
Causes, which refurbishes computers for educational institutions. Or donate to
someone else in need of a computer.
