  1. ICT Sustainability Project MAV LGTS - Melbourne 12th August 2011

  2. Factor Ten Factor Ten provides a range of clients and industry types with sustainability assessments, carbon footprints, lifecycle assessments (LCA), ecodesign and eco-innovation. We support and guide organisations in developing their sustainability strategy and provide them with technical expertise to deliver the proposed solutions.

  3. ICT Sustainability • Beyond Technology Boundaries • Broader possibilities • Part of greater solution for Council • Revolutionary Development • Challenge to incorporate as part of a solution to a greater problem • Think laterally • How ICT can contribute or complement a project outcome

  4. What is Sustainable ICT? “ICT sustainability in government is the responsible acquisition, installation, use and disposal of information and communications technologies and services so as to utilise resources more effectively, improve efficiency and increase productivity, and reduce the environmental impact of operations. It also includes the effective use of information and communications technology to promote more sustainable practices in industry and the community.” Sustainable ICT Plan – Australian Federal Government - 2010

  5. ICT Sustainability for Sustainable Cities • Products, systems and networks are essential drivers of productivity improvements and innovation • They will enable sustainability solutions in all networks of Councils life: buildings, energy production and use, mobility, water and sewage, open spaces, education and public health and safety • ICT innovation: a catalyst for changes in personal, work and community life

  6. ICT Sustainability for Sustainable Cities • Influencing major stakeholders outside local government by bringing networked technologies: citizens and private enterprises • Set an example by managing and using ICT effectively to demonstrate the power of innovation can lead and inspire the rest of the community to follow • Establish credibility: use own experience to demonstrate importance of ICT to citizens • Achieve public goals on ecological responsibility and sustainability

  7. ICT Sustainability Strategy Community Sustainability ICT Sustainability 1. ICT's Own Activities Council Sustainability 2. Council's Internal Activities (Corporate) Control, Monitor, Baseline Communicate, Report 3. Council's External Activities (Community)

  8. ICT Sustainability • Establish a framework for Councils • Setting the context • Legislation • Policies • Global /national /local trends • Standards and labels • Developing Key Performance Indicators • Must/Have • Highly Recommended • Recommended

  9. ICT Sustainability • Establish a framework for Councils • Testing the framework • 5 Pilot Councils: Nillumbik, Moreland, Wellington, Kingston, Manningham • Implementing must-have KPI • Providing resources • MAV Portal: Reports, methodologies, energy data, other • Raising awareness and supporting action • Regional workshops: 7 workshops, 27 Councils participated to date

  10. Workshops • Background on Project • Definition, Vision, Success Factors, Main focus areas • Impact of ICT on Council's sustainability • Review ICT impacts throughout life-cycle: energy, embodied energy, eWaste, social impacts • Role of ICT in support of Council's sustainability • How ICT is critical in delivering Council's sustainability objectives • Council's “Green IT” Maturity • Activity: Survey and discussions • Benchmarking the sector

  17. Results to date • Six Performance Areas • Goal 1: Reduce Energy Use • Goal 2: Meter, Monitor, Report and Control • Goal 3: Dematerialise Communications • Goal 4: Reduce Waste • Goal 5: Automate Processes • Goal 6: Governance, Awareness and training programs

  18. Results to date • More than 80 recommendations, most of them with KPIs attached and benchmarks identified • Pilot implementation targeted 6 must-have KPIs to be implemented over a period of 3 months • A minimum of 18 KPIs were identified or baselined during that period.

  19. Pilot Snapshots

  20. Power Management • Calculation of savings due to shut down of PCs and screens: • Between 212 and 497 tons of CO2-e (49 to 115 cars off the road) • Between $12,000 and $19,000 dollars in savings annually Note: Ranges between 360 to 500 PCs + laptops + monitors. Comparison of PC running 24 hours, with screensavers on after hours. Vs. PCs with screensavers disabled, power savings features enabled and automatically shut down after hours and on weekends.

  21. Datacentre electricity usage • 21% to 38% of Civic Centre electricity usage by the datacentre equipment alone • When including the supporting infrastructure, this can be as high as 55% Note: Calculations based on submeters data, energy star or manufacturer's info depending on the Council. Supporting infrastructure includes air conditioning (heating and cooling) and lighting.

  22. eLearning • 24 tons of CO2-e in savings • 68.2 hours in lost time Calculated with 205 courses given online compared to courses face-to-face in a metropolitan Council.

  23. Printers Rationalisation • Electricity usage drop by 31% - $3,400 savings yearly • 31 tons of CO2-e reduction yearly • Paper usage estimated to drop by 50% - $23,000 savings yearly + related emissions

  24. What next? • More workshops to come: • Swan Hill for North West region - 23rd August • Manningham for Metro East region - 1st September • ICT Sustainability Maturity Assessment finalised • Report and recommendations updated and Version 2 released • Integration with ICT Technology Awards
