  1. GREEN COMPUTING Sustainabilityand ICT Products Maziar Goudarzi

  2. Outline • Introduction • Life-Cycle of ICT products • Eco-labeling and standards Acknowledgements: Some slides/parts from http://www.ida.liu.se/~TDDD50/

  3. Introduction • Green IT is “...the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing computers, servers, and associated subsystems efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact to the environment.” Murugesan 2008. S. Murugesan, "Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices," IT Professional, vol.10, no.1, pp.24-33, Jan.-Feb. 2008

  4. Introduction Green of IT Green by IT Use ICT products to reduce environmental impact of other products, services, equipment, etc. • Minimize environmental impact of ICT products • The 3R’s:Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

  5. Outline • Introduction • Life-Cycle of ICT products • Eco-labelling and standards

  6. Life-Cycle of ICT Products Lorenz M. Hilty. Information Technology and Sustainability: Essays on the Relationship between Information Technology and Sustainable Development, Books on Demand, 2008 ISBN: 978-3837019704

  7. ICT Production vs. Usage • Comparison of phases in Desktop PCs • Production in China consumes 2.4 GJ • One year usage consumes 0.8 GJ • Usage phase countervail production after 3 years • This raises to 6 years if other environmental aspects defined in the Eco-Indicator '99 methodology are aggregated • Dependant of electricity supply mix

  8. تمرین اضافی • گزارشی از منابع تولید برق کشور تهیه کنید. • به تفکیک سالهای مختلف (هرچه بیشتر بهتر) • رشد حجم تولید (مگاوات) • ذکر دقیق مراجع مورد استفاده • تحلیل • میزان کاهش آلودگی محیط زیست بازای هر کیلووات ساعت کاهش مصرف انرژی مثال

  9. ICT Production vs. Usage • Length of usage phase is a very relevant parameter • Discuss: short vs. long software innovation cycle, benefiting from new better hardware • Short software innovation cycles with increasing hardware requirements are ecologically disastrous • Usage phase should be extended • Trade-off extension vs. reduced consumption of new devices

  10. ICT End-of-life • Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (e-Waste) • e-Waste has become a serious problem • Total annual global volume around 40 million tones • Treatment is a challenge, recycling is the key • Recycling metals can save up 20-25% production costs

  11. ICT End-of-life • Informal recycling • Informal industry in emerging economies • Health and environmental impacts not considered • None or poor safety measures used for manipulation • High levels of contaminants in the activity areas • Air, bottom ash, dust, soil, waters...

  12. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) • Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) • Environmental impact of a product in entire life-cycle • Materials, energy and infrastructure have their own life-cycles • Recursive study of them • All phases of the chain must be considered • Consume material and energy • Use some infrastructure • LCA analysis performed with • LCA tools: LISA, SimaPro, Umberto... • Life-cycle inventory database: Ecoinvent...

  13. Outline • Introduction • Life-Cycle of ICT products • Eco-labeling and standards

  14. Sustainability • Sustainability of products depends on several factors • Energy consumption • Materials used for construction • Disposal of the products

  15. Eco-labeling • Eco-labeling facilitates product selection • Easy identification of sustainable products • Easy comparison of sustainable products

  16. تمرین اضافی • گزارشی از استانداردهای زیست محیطی اجباری کشور در زمینه تجهیزات فاوا • معاهدات بین المللی که کشور عضو آنهاست • استانداردهای اجباری رایانه های رومیزی، لپ تاپها، سرورها، دیگر تجهیزات • استانداردهای مربوط به مراکز داده (Data centers) • رعایت قواعد ارائه مطالب!

  17. Standards • Standards, directives and product databases • ENERGY STAR • TCO • RoHS • EPEAT and IEEE P1680

  18. ENERGY STAR • Set of energy performance specifications that qualified products must fulfill • Several categories: Computers, Servers, Battery chargers..., even home appliance, Buildings • Started in 1992, by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy • Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan and the European Union have adopted the program • 20%–30% less energy than required by federal standards

  19. ENERGY STAR • ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Computers 5.0 • Defines categories of computers • Desktop computers, integrated desktop computers, notebooks, workstations, game consoles, small-scale servers, thin clients • Defines operational modes • Off mode, sleep mode, idle mode, active mode • Defines maximum annual consumption for each category • Tables with operational mode weighting (% time idle, sleep...) • Tables with maximum annual energy according to operational mode weighting defined (Typical Energy Consumption - TEC) • Defines test procedures to qualify products

  20. ENERGY STAR for Computers ver. 5.0, link…

  21. ENERGY STAR • Example with desktop computer category B(2 cores, 2 GB) • Poff, Psleep, and Pidle must be measured and fed into the formula that must give less or equal than 175 kWh to qualify the product

  22. ENERGY STAR • ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Displays 5.0 • Defines criteria for qualifying products • Power source, television tuners, automatic brightness control, external power supply, power management requirements • Defines operational mode requirements • Maximum consumption in OFF and sleep modes • Maximum consumption in ON mode • Depends on size, resolution and brightness settings • Defines test procedures to qualify products • ENERGY STAR provides a database for qualified products • http://www.eu-energystar.org/en/database.htm

  23. TCO Certificate • Sustainability certification for IT products • Originally: user friendliness, safety, and eco-friendliness • Sweden → EU → Worldwide, voluntary • Since 1992 • Broad series of criteria to ensure that manufacturing, use and recycling is carried out with consideration for environmental, social and economic responsibility • Key criteria • Energy Efficiency • Minimization of Hazardous Substances • Ergonomic, User-centered design • Corporate Social Responsibility • Electrical Safety, Emissions TCO: TjänstemännensCentralorganisation

  24. RoHS - EU Directive 2002/95/EC • Restriction of use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) • In electrical and electronic equipment • To protect human health and environment • For products put on the market since 1st July of 2006 • Restricted substances • Lead • Mercury • Cadmium • Hexavalent chromium • Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) • Polybrominateddiphenyl ethers (PBDE) http://www.rohs.gov.uk/ http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:02002L0095-20100925:EN:NOT

  25. EPEAT / IEEE P1680 • EPEAT: Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool • A method for consumers to evaluate the effect of a product on the environment • Managed by the Green Electronics Council • A programme of the International Sustainability Development Foundation (ISDF) • Organization has signed an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with a group of technical and environmental assessment organizations

  26. Ref: http://www.epeat.net/documents/purchaser-resources/EPEAT_Basics_Preso_12%200710.pdf

  27. EPEAT / IEEE P1680 • Global registry of electronic products • Covers design, production, use, and disposal of products • Operation and criteria based on IEEE 1680 standards • 23 required criteria and 28 optional • Products registered and declared by manufacturers • Independent verification of their claims • Fast product presence in the register • Environmental product ranking • Bronze: Meets all 23 required criteria • Silver: Bronze plus 50% of the optional criteria • Gold: Bronze plus 75% of the optional criteria

  28. EPEAT / IEEE P1680 • Criteria categories • Reduction/elimination of environmentally sensitive materials • Materials selection • Design for end of life • Product longevity / life cycle extension • Energy conservation • End of life management • Corporate performance • Packaging • EPEAT enforces products to meet ENERGY STAR requirements + RoHS EU directive http://www.epeat.net/Docs/Summary%20of%20EPEAT%20Criteria.pdf
