Edinburgh Branch

AIM

•Why are IT devices and services important for Sustainability?

•Part of the problem

=> how can we reduce their consumption of energy and other resources across their lifecycle?

•Part of the solution

=> what can they do for us to reduce our consumption at home, on the move and at work?

The Science

Why do anything..?

– Climate Change => warming, disasters(fires and floods), loss of biodiversity, less to go round more

– Population growth, 2000 to 2030 of 2.2billion, of which 2.0billion likely to be located in cities*

– Rising consumption, 5 billion people consume 20% and 1 billion consume 80% (Ericsson)

– Resource depletion, 2.5 planets for all to have US/EU living standards

=> rising energy, food and resource costs and the recession

=> “we have to do more with less” (Buckminster-Fuller)

> energy> resources> emissions

Some anecdotes

• The usage of the Thames Barrier has increased from once every two years in the 1980s to an average of six times a year over the past five years

• Ocean pH has risen by 30% since 1900

• The world’s reservoirs hold 5 x the amount of water that flows in our rivers

• The world currently burns some 1,000 barrels of oil a second (BBC)

An Inefficient truth – GAP (Dec 2007)

Some perspectives on IT...

• Globally – Manufacture of ICT, its use and disposal accounts for 2%+ of global CO2 emissions = the aviation industry

– Man-made CO2 emissions add up to around 49 billion tonnes pa => 1 billion + tonnes from ICT.

• In UK

– 10 million office PCs , nearly 50% of adult population use PCs at work - expected to grow to 70% by 2020

– Data storage growing by nearly 50% every year

– IT consumes 15% of office power rising to 30% by 2020

– Expect 45% of Domestic Power to be used for home IT and CE products by 2020

– In total ICT power consumption already represents 10% of total UK energy consumption or 4 Nuclear Power stations!!

– UK Public sector spends some £14b on IT assets and services pa

And the Scientist

Can we trust them?

I vow to always:

1.Advise against any intervention into the functioning of Earth systems that I believe might harm humanity, the biosphere, atmosphere or other Earth systems upon which our well being depends. 2.Make clear to the public that scientific understanding of Earth systems is limited and that this makes all alterations of Earth systems inherently risky. 3.Describe, to the best of my knowledge and that of my discipline, the specific risks incurred by any intentional alteration of an Earth system, including the risks to humans, other organisms, and the systems that support life on Earth. 4.Ensure that whatever advice I give, I give for the benefit of humanity, remaining free of intentional distortion or personal bias.

People

Some observations on us...

– Want to save the polar bears.. but– Fickle, sensitive to Press/Media on spur of the moment, but – Hard to change established behaviours, though recognise the need

- in all the manifestos!– We can make a difference as individuals?

- Save power, switch-off devices, low energy modes- Reduce transport impacts

– Walk /bike not car– Rail not plane– Home or mobile working

- Sweat the assets and recycle– But we don’t

- Recession forces other priorities- Its too little too late?

Why we want to doubt its us?

• Climate change is disturbing.

• We don’t have to see the impact in everyday life.

• At time of more information and awareness, we become defensive to create a sense of a good, safe world for ourselves, we screen it out or create doubt.

• If I don’t want to believe that climate change is true, that my lifestyle and high carbon emissions are causing devastation, so convenient to say that it doesn’t.

• People stop paying attention to climate change when they realize there’s no easy solution. People judge as serious only those problems for which actions can be taken. Stanford University psychologist Jon Krosnick

• Our sense of permanence is threatened, and a sense of guilt is held at bay

=> So we don’t want to believe climate change is happening, feel guilty that it is, and don’t know what to do about it? So we pretend it’s not a problem?

Managing the lifecycle...

Manufacture and delivery

Manufacture/distribution

•Sourcing of materials=> beware location/transport costs

•Building products => build to re-use/re-cycle /upgrade – a longer life

•Energy efficient processes

•Move from commodity to service revenue streams, can optimise use of assets

•Marketing => eco-labelling, green washing, be credible

•Delivering => transport, packaging, installation

So what...?

The manufacturing process for computers is very resource intensive.

manufacture of one PC requires

1.7 tonnes of raw materials and water,

consumes over ten times the computer’s weight in fossil fuels.

75% of PC fossil fuel consumption has already happened before the computer is even switched on for the first time. But others say...

Procurement

Procurement

– Don’t => sweat the asset (compare footprints for build/use/disposal of IT assets)

– Adopt latest and most stretching standards (EPEAT, Quick Wins..)– Seek

- Consolidation of Functions- Device consolidation- Device sharing- Services not assets => dematerialise!- Longer refresh periods

– Make the case to invest for Green

Futerra Green Washing report - @ http://www.futerra.co.uk/

•The UK Government aims to be amongst the EU leaders in sustainable procurement.

•As part of this commitment Defra have, since 2003, developed and published green government procurement specifications known as “Quick Wins”.

•These Quick Wins specifications aim to set a pre-defined level of environmental performance for a range of “high priority” products purchased by central Government departments.

•Information Communication Technology (ICT) products fall into this “high priority” classification as they account for a large amount of spend and result in a range of environmental impacts which have the potential to be reduced.

Quick Wins..

See : http://online.ogcbuyingsolutions.gov.uk

EPEAT?

•Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)•Standard rating (ANSI/IEEE) – Gold, Silver, Bronze•Covers

– Toxic reductions– Recycled content– Energy efficiency (Energy Star rating)– Durability– Lifecycle extension– End-of-life management– Corporate responsibility– Packaging

•Provides an environmental benefits calculator for quantifying benefits•615 products registered •Procurements have saved enough power for 1.2million US homes

UK Public Sector Organisations will be expected to use G-Cloud Services as their first choice where available.

All G-Cloud services will require certification, which will be achieved through sponsorship by a Public Sector organisation or supplier

Uncertified services will be available for review, comparison and trial in the Open Zone.

Use ...

Use

=> Seek energy efficiency, power management

- PCs/laptops

- Printers

- Network equipment

- Servers/data centres

=> Exploit

- Reduce paper, travel, accommodation

- Improve logistics, data, intelligence

- Offer new working practices and flexibilities/choices

- Challenge of behaviour change

HMG Strategy : List of Practical Actions

PCs & Laptops

Remove active screensavers

Switch monitors to standby

Shut down PCs after office hours

Enable active power management on desktops (standby / hibernate after a defined period of inactivity)

Ensure reduce and re-use of equipment that is no longer required but is still serviceable

Specify low-power consumption CPUs and high-efficiency Power Supply Units (80% conversion or better)

Apply Thin Client technology

Behaviours at work and at home?

Survey by Logicalis indicated

•85% of employees switch off their home PC when they have finished with it,

•only 66% turn off work machines after use

Www. Computing.co.uk/greencomputing

Some comparisons

•A computer left on 24/7 will cost about £37 a year, whereas by switching off at night and weekends, the charge can be reduced to about £10 a year - and save an equivalent amount of energy to make some 34,900 cups of coffee

•Lighting an office overnight wastes enough energy to heat water for 1,000 cups of tea

Carbon Trust

HMG Strategy : List of Practical Actions

Other office ICT Equipment

Apply timer switches to non-networked technology and printers

Set default green printing including duplex and grey scale

Optimise power-saving sleep mode on printers

Printer consolidation

Device consolidation

Order of magnitudes?

•A typical window left open overnight in winter will waste enough energy to drive a small car for more than 35 miles

•A PC monitor switched off overnight saves enough energy to microwave six dinners

•Turning off all non essential equipment in an office for one night will save enough energy to run a small car for 100 miles

Office kit

•Monitors account for almost two-thirds of a computer's energy use

•Office equipment is the fastest-growing area of energy use, accounting for up to 20% of total energy use.

Www.Computing.co.uk/greencomputing

Printing

•The average British office worker prints 22 pages every working day, and behavioural research suggests that 44% of this is easily avoidable,

•Over 21% of prints are disposed of before the end of the day.

•Takes 10 pints of water to make A4 sheet from virgin pulp

HMG Strategy : List of Practical Actions

Data Centres

Server Optimisation a. Storage virtualisation & capacity managementb. Convert existing physical servers to “virtual servers” c. Turn off servers outside their service level agreement, d. Create “virtual servers” instead of procuring physical

new servers. e. Implement a multi-tiered storage solution

Reduce cooling in the data centre

Remove unused capacity (servers and data disks)

Specify power conversion efficient Power Supply Units

Ensure re-use of equipment

Data centre audit

Servers

•A medium-sized server has roughly the same annual carbon footprint as an SUV vehicle doing 15 miles per gallon. The power required for a rack of high density server blades can be 10-15 times greater than a traditional server. And we “need” to cool it with air con units consuming the same power again

Applications rationalisation

• 1,000 applications• Removing/consolidating into 300 apps• Virtualising as part of a server rationalisation programme seeing reduction of some 700 servers

• Tiering to ensure 24/7, high resilience, Gold service for apps requiring it, Silver and Bronze levels to reduce costs of operations

What’s bad about PSTs?

And exercise more ...

Get fitter...!

• Underlying philosophy

• EAT LESS

– Drive down physical and energy resource consumption,

• EXERCISE MORE

– Utilise IT services to drive down consumption elsewhere in the organisation

• BECOME AN OLYMPIC ATHLETE!

– Sometimes need to invest in more IT to achieve greater reductions elsewhere

Ask ...

• Why print... ?

• Why so many face to face meetings... ?

• Why still come to the office...?

Make your IT do the work!

Why Print?

• Meetings

– laptop, OneNote, handling many windows!

– projectors to share material, get better switching

• Reading

– different presentation modes

– add notes, set up tasks on screen

• Team working

– Sharepoint sites

• Personal quotas?

and...?

Why so many face to face meetings...?

• Equipment

– Speakerphones, line connections that work

– Data points, WIFI

• Portable IP v/conferencing devices

– HSBC has installed desktop video conferencing units & reduced air travel by 25%;

• Alternatives

– Webinars

– Teleconferences

– Sharepoint/Web discussion groups

Why still come to the office...?

• Recent survey findings:

–“My manager expects me to be in the office”–Meetings are organised without taking on board flexible

working patterns–Do not trust home access services, Broadband, 3G etc–Home space issues

• Benefits

–Save commuting time–Save office space• Change the culture => you now have the choice!

Proving the benefits eg e-conferencing at NE

NE Trial : Assumptions    

1. All meetings are internal    

2. All travel would involve travelling from one office to another

3. The travel mode for meetings would reflect current use of modes (i.e. lots of car and train travel, few taxis, air etc. )

4. No substitution between e-conf modes      

5. Meetings involve attendees that would otherwise travel from across the national NE estate      

6. Meetings would have been held if e-conferencing was not available     

NE trial : Proposed rationale

1. Average distance between all NE offices is 159 miles This would mean a round trip for an attendee of 318 miles or 512km

2.Our total carbon footprint for 2007 was 2327 tonnes of CO2 with staff travelling a total distance of 14,803,346 km. Therefore for every kilometre travelled emitted 157 g of carbon.

3.Therefore the carbon saving of each attendee will be 512 x 157 = 80 kg of CO2

4.We should assume that the meeting initiator would not have travelled anyway as they would have invited everyone to their office.

5.HMRC indicate the cost of fuel at an average of £0.14 per mile (see http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cars/advisory_fuel_current.htm )

6.We can posit that each attendee would spend approximately £44.52 to attend a meeting based on a round trip of 318 miles.

7.2,700 staff in NE across some 50 locations

NE : Initial trial run – minutes of use

NE : Initial trial run – projected savings £

Recycle

•Options

– Re-use or upgrade first

– Re-sell asset but not responsibility for disposal?

– Re-claim

– Cleaning assets

– Costs of getting it wrong

61

Recycling and Disposal

• Re-use a source of significant cost savings (up to 90% cheaper to refurbish than to make a new purchase)

• Disposal of working equipment after refresh exercise can generate revenue

• Separate components before crushing, can be worth a lot e.g. £1,800/tonne for RAM

• Waste disposal suppliers should be ISO 14001 accredited to ensure compliance with relevant legislation

total percentage by weight of materials reused or reclaimed 98.54%

( Your recycling figure) 98.54%

So what do I care?

We’re running out of landfill – significant tax increases on its use

So - 70% of global electronic waste is dumped in China, with most of the rest going to India and African nations(52).

Individuals ‘recycle’ this equipment by recovering eg by smelting, the valuable metals risk ill-health from exposure to heavy metals => The new mining industry!!

People that rely on water supplies potentially contaminated with heavy metals from open e-waste recovery sites and those living near metal works are also put at risk.

Those least able to cope/deal with e-waste are those that get our oldest, most unrecyclable kit!
