Calculation Tools & ICT Insights on energy saving: SAT-S, Save@Work, GreenSpector
Thursday, February 23, 2017
The 4th ICTFOOTPRINT free webinar has crucial information on ICT Calculation tools and Sustainable ICT insights on energy savings, on 23rd February 2017, 15:00 CET. All those who want to improve ICT energy efficiency in their business are welcome to join us in this exciting webinar.
After years of seemingly infinite IT resources, software developers are facing new efficiency challenges on smartphones and IoT devices. Mobile users want more features, but not less battery life. Thomas Corvaisier (CEO of GREENSPECTOR) introduced the concept of software eco-design, and tell us how it may help lowering the consumption of IT resources while preserving performance and user experience.
Frédéric Croisson, from Deloitte Sustainability, showcased the ICTFOOTPRINT.eu Self-Assessment Tool for Services (SAT-S), a useful, quick and easy-to-use tool that calculates the carbon footprint of your ICT services. The tool helps users not only to make informed decisions about how to make an ICT service sustainable, but also discover the impact of ICT devices & activities in terms of Green House Gas emissions and primary energy consumption.
Energy savings can be achieved thanks to simple sustainable daily practices, which can be implemented by organisations employees. Karen Robinson shared some sustainable ICT practices and introduce the save@work initiative, which encourages public sector employee’s to come together in teams to reduce the energy consumption of their building by making small changes to their everyday energy consuming behaviours. Adding an element of competition to the project has been a significant driver in encouraging teams to really examine and challenge those unconscious energy consuming behaviours. The scale of working in a large office has also highlighted those practices that on their own seem to make almost insignificant savings but when applied across an office of over 300 people, have a very different impact.
The webinar was moderated by Silvana Muscella (Project Coordinator of ICTFOOTPRINT.eu and CEO of Trust-IT Services) who boasts has over 20 years’ experience a broad experience in stimulating topics in the ICT sector. In recent years, her drive has been in getting her team to turn its expertise into developing useful ICT tools and services for smaller companies, like Trust-IT, in the areas for ICT for energy efficiency, cloud procurement, cybersecurity and providing online tools for making cloud computing easier for novices especially.
