This document discusses drivers for green ICT including reducing costs and carbon emissions. It outlines some of the key issues like high energy use of desktops, servers, and printing. Solutions proposed include power management, virtualization, consolidation, procurement standards, and exemplar projects. The document also summarizes current and potential future projects focused on areas like data centers, cloud computing, thin clients, and energy reporting.
Xergy Consulting surveys the programs, standards, and metrics used to evaluate the environmental performance of data centers. What are we missing? What information do we lack to fully evaluate the greenness of clouds?
Sustainable computing is a new pathway in the research field. because it is clear the growth of ICT industries globally is rapidly poisoning our environment. So ultimately we need to give attention to this for more Sustainable computing solutions.

Modeling and Analysis of Energy Efficient Cellular Networksijtsrd
Energy consumption has become a primary concern in design and operation of wireless communication networks due to two main reasons- Environmental concerns and Cost. The next generation network systems will have to consider energy efficient designs in any aspect. The 5G network which is most awaited today though proposes better data rates but also speaks about energy efficiency in its agenda.

John Simmins (EPRI) Smartglasses and AR Solutions in Power and Energy IndustryAugmentedWorldExpo
The electric utility industry is facing many issues, an aging workforce, reduced electricity demands, renewable energy integration and others. To cope with a younger, more inexperienced workforce a “great leap forward” in technology is needed. Smart wearable technology and augmented reality offer promise to relieve some of these operational pressures utilities face. As with most technologies, adoption by industry rests on the ability to determine if actual, measureable efficiency gains can be obtained. This presentation will review where the utility industry currently is with adoption of wearables and AR and will describe the efforts of the industry to quantitatively assess the impact of these technologies. Results from an international, ongoing, collaborative research effort by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) will be presented.

Bridging the gap - The use of Video-conferencing to support higher educationRob Bristow
The world of video-conferencing is changing rapidly. The move to software endpoints and to virtualised backend infrastructure, as well as the near ubiquity of consumer V-C tools (Skype, FaceTime, etc.) together with development of new more efficient video-conferencing CODECs allows conferencing to move out of the meeting room to everywhere. While there are good examples of the use of conferencing tools in higher education, the fact remains that most conferencing vendors are still focussed on the business user. It is perhaps more difficult to understand the affordances of the various tools available and to make the appropriate choice to support higher education use cases that can include teaching and learning, research collaboration, and more traditional management functions. Some time will taken to place the various conferencing and collaboration tools in context and to discuss the selection of the appropriate tool for the task in hand.
This seminar will present an overview of some of the recent developments in video-conferencing that may have a relevance to an academic setting, and will showcase some examples of these new approaches in action. In particular, the seminar will highlight the work of networks in physics and mathematics research and teaching which are leveraging the power of these tools to enable programmes and collaborations that would be impossible without them.
Finally the seminar will offer some thoughts for discussion on what it may make sense to offer to the SA HE sector going forward in the way of centrally procured and delivered video-conferencing services.

The Government’s Sustainable Procurement Action Plan (Defra 2007) (which was a response to the Sustainable Procurement Task Force’s 2006 ‘Procuring the Future’ report) sets out a flexible, five-stage, framework setting out the actions that public sector organisations should adopt to improve the sustainability of their procurement policies. The five stages consist of: (1) foundation; (2) embed; (3) practice; (4) enhance; and (5) lead. The Task Force identified 10 areas of spend being identified as priorities for action including two of relevance to ICT - pulp, paper & printing and consumables, and office machinery and computers. Energy Star - By April 2009 all public sector organisations should have reached Level 3 (or above) of the Flexible Framework with leadership (Level 5) in at least one area by December 2009. . Energy Star is a voluntary eco-label which is based on a minimum performance of energy in use. Once a product has qualified for the eco-label it is entered onto a web-based database which is easily searchable. The Energy Star database lists the most energy efficient models, within the group of Energy Star qualified office equipment. It has specifications for computers; displays; imaging equipment, and monitors. ECMA Eco-Declaration - This is intended to be a global scheme, but is focusing on EU implementation in the first instance. The scheme specifies environmental attributes and measurement methods for ICT and CE products according to known regulations, standards, guidelines and currently accepted practices. It can be applied to finished products, or subassemblies, components, accessories and/or optional parts. It addresses company programs and product related attributes, not the manufacturing processes and logistic aspects EPEAT - The EPEAT standard is formalized as Standard 1680 of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and the system is managed by a non-profit organization, the Green Electronics Council (2008). It is used to assess laptop and desktop computers, and monitors, in terms of 51 performance criteria (23 required, and 28 optional), which cover environmental design, manufacture, end-of-life management and corporate performance (see Table 9). IEEE/EPEAT standards for imaging equipment and televisions are currently under development, with UK government staff involved as stakeholder participants. Standards development is also planned for servers and mobile devices in upcoming years (O’Brien, Personal Communication 2009). EPEAT has three tiers of environmental performance – Bronze, Silver and Gold – which are determined by the number of optional credits achieved above the 2 required performance criteria. Manufacturer’s self-certify, but these are subject to spot checks by the Green Electronics Council. As with Energy Star the criteria are periodically refreshed to drive continuous improvement. Originally the criteria were based on the IEEE 1680 Standard (IEEE website); in future, the 1680 criteria which address the management of the product registry will serve as an ‘umbrella’ standard for all products, with additional IEEE standards for different products. Through active engagement with international stakeholders, currently including government representatives from the UK and China, as well as international manufacturer and advocate representation, the aim is to align the standards with the global market to enable its use worldwide (O’Brien, Personal Communication 2009). As EPEAT was a requirement of US Government contracts it quickly became a market standard. In mid-June 2009 there were 145 desktops and 484 notebooks listed in the EPEAT scheme, from 30 manufacturers. Of these, 97 desktops, and 188 laptops, were gold rated, reaching the highest standard. According to the Green Electronics Council, EPEAT-qualified products accounted for about 22% of worldwide notebook and desktop sales in 2007, up from 10% of all units in 2006 when the first EPEAT-rate products began hitting the market (US Green Electronics Council 2008).
