Executive Summary
y ICTs are a noticeable source of GH G emissions, and a major component of innovative solutions for sustainable development.
y Many abatements in costs and carbon footprint are made possible by undertaking
innovative solutions in ICTs, in both direct and indirect ways.
y Leveraging technologies and people behaviors enables value creation.
y Existing and planned regulations create more and more constraints, which can be shifted
into strength if addressed correctly (gain in competitiveness, product range widening ).
ICTs and sustainable development
Innhotep proposes analyses and solutions to help firms integrate innovation in their
strategy and organization and benefit from it in various fields, including ICTs.

legislation – National – International (EU, ) – Others
• National voluntary standards established by workgroups on demand of policy-makers
• International voluntary standards established by international organizations and insitutions (European Standard Organizations (ESOs) for example)
We can help our clients shift legislation and standards from constraints to opportunities

Industry Commitments & Initiatives State-side regulation and standardization
• The number of standards and regulations is continuously increasing • The firms which do not adapt their product offer to the new standards will quickly be left behind • Innovation lets firms anticipate forward regulations and take a competitive advantage on the
market
• Voluntary, market-oriented programs • Standards developed by industry • Research and analysis • Consumer education • Promotion of energy-efficient products • Outreach and coordination

What does Innhotep mean ?
• The word Innhotep was chosen in resonance with the name Imhotep, « He who comes in peace » or « the one who is welcome »
• Vizier of Pharaoh Djoser, Imhotep designed in Africa, at Saqqara (Egypt), the first pyramid in history.
• Aside architecture, Imhotep was a scholar in medicine, mathematics, astrology and religion, exemplifying the breadth of knowledge needed to achieve successful innovation
• He contributed to the existence of a single language and
scripture, foundations for the administration and the religion of one of the most impressive civilizations of mankind

The global problem of climate change also involves ICTs
y Since 1970, the production of greenhouse gases has risen by more than 70%, which results in consequences such as – Rise in planet temperature – Changing weather patterns – Rising sea-levels – Desertification – Shrinking ice cover –
y Those consequences have serious impact on
the lives of millions of people and political stability in many parts of the world
y Energy efficiency is the fastest and most cost effective way to reduce GHG emissions
Climate change is a concern for all of humanity and requires efforts on the part of all sectors of society, including the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) sector

The global impact of building related abatements enabled by ICT
y Two main drivers of buildings’ emissions
– Surface area
– Energy intensity
y Biggest reduction potential in building design, BMS and Voltage optimisation
y Importance of Benchmarking
y BMS can adapt the building to changes in the way it is used
y US and Canada have come up with very
innovative companies in the area of smart
building technology

The global impact of grid related abatements enabled by ICT
y The power sector accounted for 24% of global
emissions 2002
y Smart meters allow consumers to know more about
their consumption habits and allows for automatic
metering
y Advanced Grid Management systems (e.g.
refrigerators which reduce their performance during
peak times)
y Sensors for remote metering
y High importance for countries like India, where
Grid inefficiencies seriously hinder economic
development

The global impact of motor & industrial processes related abatements enabled by ICT
y Motor systems are devices which convert electricity
into mechanical power
y They can be inefficient as they operate on full
capacity, independent of the actual load
y ICTs role is to monitor energy use and provide
real-time energy data for optimization
y Simulation software for plant and manufacturing
process design
y Inter-system communication

The global impact of logistics related abatements enabled by ICT
y Transport sector is responsible for 14% of
global emissions
y Software for design of transport systems
y Optimisation of route planning would
comprise avoidance of congestion etc.
y Other interesting opportunities include
– CO2e emissions tracking platforms
– Electronic freight exchanges (EFX) to allow
for the ‘auction’ of spare space on vehicles
– Reverse logistics platforms
– Protocols for system interoperability
– CO2e route optimization standards

The global impact of dematerialisation enabled by ICT
y Telecommuting has the highest impact but faces corporate doubts about adoption, and those are not technical: – Perceived disadvantage concerning ‘employee performance
management’
– The necessary cultural shift in collaboration for the employees
y Impact of telecommuting depends on the efficiency of
the country looked at (decreases impact) and the relation between workhours and free-time (the more work hours, the more impact)
y There is a need to establish blueprints for roll-out in the companies where most impact is to be had, as well as policy support

Environmental consideration for equipment installed in outdoor location Energy efficiency of wireless access network Equipment Power Optimization for xDSL transceivers
To write a technical report on the applicability of ETSI environmental classes to equipment installed in outdoor cabinet. Also acoustics noise emission will be considered. To define wireless access network energy efficiency metrics, define efficiency parameters and measurement methods for wireless access network equipment. In first phase GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA and WiMAX is addressed. Possibilities to optimize the power consumption of the xDSL transceiver shall be investigated. These investigations may include power modes that are beyond the currently existing modes. The potential influence of power optimization schemes on the stability and performance of each line of the network due to power optimization, e.g. non-stationary noise, shall be an important part of the WI. This WI will aim at building coherence with other ETSI documents relating to the topic. Therefore, a close collaboration with other WI in TM6 (e.g. ADSL, VDSL, SpM), with other ETSI technical bodies (e.g. ETSI EE) and other standardization bodies (e.g. SG15/Q4) is needed for that WI.
