Purpose
This document focuses on the
main sustainability issues that
Data centers
companies face in using ICT
products and services in their
own organizations, with a special
Approach I
Monetisation of impacts
Desktop infrastructure
emphasis on four areas.
Broadcasting services
Telecommunications
networks

The Document
Structure of the analysis:
 General Principles
 Drivers impacting energy
efficiency
 Guidelines on sustainability
 Best practices
 Case studies
 KPIs
 Sustainability check-lists
 Future innovation
Four areas of sustainability
analysis:
o Data centers: Extensive sustainability metrics
around energy efficiency criteria – business drivers
that push new metrics
o Desktop infrastructure: Managing the energy
impacts of individual desktops, based on user
profiles and group-wide policies
o Telecoms and networking infrastructure:
different approaches and metrics needed to
manage the particular sustainability impacts of
data networks, fixed line and mobile infrastructure
o Broadcasting: the industry has only recently
started using sustainability metrics and
management approaches – we identified best
practice cases they can build on.

Suggested Data Center KPI Metrics

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE): measurement of the total
energy consumed by the data center, divided by the IT energy
consumption

Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE): measurement of the of
the annual water usage of the data center, divided by IT
equipment energy usage

Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE): measurement of the total
carbon footprint of the data centre, divided by IT energy
consumption

Other measures such as IT equipment utilization, IT equipment
energy efficiency, green energy co-efficient and data center
performance per energy may also be used

Committed to Connecting the World
Desktop Infrastructure Key Recommendations

Establish a mandate for infrastructure modernization and energy
efficiency

Set up a green IT champions team

Put together hard data on the energy and usage data that needs
to be tracked

Assemble and implement an action plan

Optimize the strategy – this includes figuring out which
machines in the infrastructure do not fit plans or policies
6
Committed to Connecting the World
Suggested networking sustainability KPIs

Power consumption per network line

Network energy efficiency

Mobile network energy consumption per mobile connection

Mobile network energy consumption per mobile traffic

Mobile network energy consumption per cell site

Mobile network energy consumption per unit mobile revenue

Broadcasting Sustainability Guides
Currently, there are no formal regulations or guidelines that apply to
sustainability impacts of the broadcasting industry. However, industry
groups have started collaborating on the development of best practices:

Green is Universal Film/TV production guide for NBC/Universal

PGA Green Production Guide

Green Screen Program for the Canadian film and TV industry

Eco-scorecard from Green Media Solutions

Fox Guide to Greening Production

BBC/Arup Low Energy Lighting Guide

Conclusions
Although the ICT industry is well used to radical and rapid technology
change, so far it has not fully applied its innovation capabilities to deliver
new ICT technologies for transformational energy reduction:

Need for new and more efficient ICT devices that will help reduce the
energy consumption of ICT at a system, rather than a product level

Need for hardware and software working in harmony to make power
consumption proportional to data processing demand.

Suggestions
Standards can help lead innovation for transformational energy
reduction:

More work on standards for desktop infrastructure,
broadcasting services and networks is needed;

New recommendations on metrics for data centers, which
integrates energy consumption metrics with metrics relating to
business strategy and business use are needed;

Metrics and frameworks for best practice on energy stations
needed to power mobile network nodes.
