Assist in practical steps in reducing their energy use & their CO2 footprint - both for individuals and organisations Promote organisations who adopt network power management and virtualisation technology into their IT emissions reduction policy

5 About Computers Off Australia (COA) Campaign activities include working in four areas: General: promoting energy efficiency and sustainability Technical: Skills development, education and job creation Policy: Policy development, research and policy proposals on ICT energy efficiency as first steps of computing sustainability Action: Keeping green wash at bay through certification, activities and practical steps in reducing energy use & CO2 footprint Who is involved with this campaign and labelling initiative?

6 Board of Advisors Craig Scroggie VP & Managing Director, Symantec AsiaPacific Paul Harapin Managing Director, VMware Australia Mary Hawkins - Head of Technology & Sustainability, ANZ Bank Bianca Wirth - Government Green Technologist, Microsoft Tom Worthington - Chair of the ACS Green ICT Group Robin Eckermann Founder TransACT Hugh Grant - Powerlink's Operations Business Unit Director Dr Idris F. Sulaiman CEO Computers Off Australia

7 Focus in three areas: Aims 1. Promoting efficiencies gained through the use of ICT Power management and CO2 emission monitoring software Virtualisation technology (servers, desktops and storage) Carbon neutrality 2. Encouraging behavior change We are all only human after all 3. Promoting collaboration between the business and ICT Encourage the business to look at how IT can assist in reducing our emissions

8 The Key Business Benefits and Business Drivers of a Green IT Strategy in Education

9 The Key Business Benefits and Business Drivers of a Carbon Reduction Strategy in Education

10 In case you don t know! ICT equates to 2% of the worlds global CO2 emissions Equivalent to that of the aviation industry

11 Which equipment uses more power? Computers and monitors are the single largest contributors, namely 39% and recently revised to 40%*) of the ICT total contribution to global carbon emissions Source: Simon Mingay, Gartner 'Green IT': Dealing With the Shock Wave - Gartner Symposium/ITxpo Sydney November 2007 * A Levin, Head Corporate Governance, ICTs and Climate Change, Symposium on ICTs and Climate Change, London, June 2008

12 Computers in Australia According to DEWHA there are 24 million computers in Australia 16 Million in government and business 8 million in homes We use 13,956,625,613 kwh of power to run these PC s We spend $1,535,228,817 powering these PC We waste 7,973,058 Tons CO2 emissions We waste $1,226,624,256 per year on power from PC s Calculations based on the standard USA EPA Data and calculated on the COA calculator at

13 Lets break down the benefits Going green means going lean Saving money seems to be the number one goal for green-it initiative. Most organisations can cut their energy costs by a min 30% instantly Establish a reputation for ethical business practices Establish a favourable, ethical reputation within your districts Lead by example and be seen as leaders in the fight against climate change (or carbon reduction for those 41% of golfers) Take advantage of green marketing benefits Certifications like Computers Off Australia IT Specific Greenbizcheck covering energy efficiency, water, waste & recycling, travel & transportation and supply chain management

14 Green marketing benefits

15 Getting Beyond the Barriers Small percentage of University's doing anything 18% of Australian University's have invested in energy-efficiency Knowing where to start Most organisation really don t know how to go green Time constraints University's struggle to implement energy-efficient policies as they are strapped for time Misconception around the costs to be green There are low or no costs policies that can be implemented today

16 Developing your Green IT strategy Main areas that require your focus NOW is: PCs and Laptops Monitors Servers Data centres have received a lot of attention They are power-inefficient Removes significant visible costs Desktop and Laptop Computers offers the greatest overall reduction Harder as there is a behavioural change required There are solutions to assist with "fixing" the problem.

17 Building the case: IT Leadership Q. Who in your organization is responsible for setting and maintaining targets for green initiatives? Source: IDC Whitepaper: Building The Case for an Environmentally Sustainable Networking Strategy

18 Energy Efficiency is the Core to Sustainability Q. Which of the following KPIs do you use to measure the effectiveness of your green initiatives? Source: IDC Whitepaper: Building The Case for an Environmentally Sustainable Networking Strategy

19 What s the issue and the solution? The problem is we are only human Users chronically disable power management According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, over 80% of users disable their PCs power conservation settings within 90 days Computers in low power mode can t be updated so IT staff are reluctant to enable power management Centralised Power Management directly addresses these issues! The Fundamental idea is straight-forward Ensure IT deploys a computer power management policy and or strategy across your entire school network. Question: Do you have the ability today to enforce a centralised power management policy across our entire network?

20 What is Power Management From Wikipedia Power management is a feature of some electrical appliances, especially copiers, computers and computer peripherals such as monitors and printers, that turns off the power or switches the system to a low-power state when inactive.

21 Electricity Cost: $0.11/kWh Avg PC Power: 57W Monitor Power: 34W Power assumptions Computers on 80% of the time during work hrs 64% are left on after work hrs 5 day work week 8 hours/day Cost to purchase offsets is based at $25 per ton Calculations made from the Computers Off Australia Energy Savings Calculator available here

22 What you can save Number of Computers Estimated Current Cost Future Cost with Power Mgmt Savings Tons of CO2 Cost to purchase Carbon Offsets 1,000 $101,611 $20,622 $80, $7,953 2,500 $254,028 $51,555 $202,473 1,206 $19,899 5,000 $508,856 $103,110 $404,946 2,412 $39,798 13,000 $894,775 $240,403 $654,371 4,253 $106,325 80,000 $5,702,715 $1,261, $4,441,317 26,463 $436,6391
