Important Assumptions on PC Sector Established Base • The PCs sector was divided into two main sectors: • Desktop PCs • Laptop PCs • Percentage share of each sector was in accordance with the Smart2020 report • In 2002, • desktop had 84% of market share • Laptops had 16% of market share • By 2020, • laptops taking 74% of market share • Desktops have 26% of market share • linear increase in use of laptops was assumed
Important Assumptions on PC Sector Established Base Computation – Case I • PC sales numbers from Gartner are used to estimate the established base • Needs an accurate estimate of PC life cycle to get the established base • Three scenarios showing the life cycle of PCs are obtained • 3-year “typical” life cycle as mentioned in Gartner news release • 4-year life cycle derived from Gartner’s “1.1 Billion PCs in Use in 2008” statement • 5-year life cycle for laptops and 6-year life cycle for desktops as mentioned in “European Commission DG TREN : Personal Computers (desktops and laptops) and Computer Monitors • Can be obtained at www.ecocomputer.org • Plugging in the recent data (2009 and 2010(est.)) from Gartner Inc. gave different estimates than before • Estimating PC life cycle as 3 or 4 years gave surprisingly low estimates even with the most aggressive curve fit (exponential growth) • 2.75 Billion PCs in 2020 for 3 year life cycle • 3.6 Billion PCs in 2020 for 4 year life cycle • Estimating PC life cycle of 5 years gave the most reasonable estimate of PC established base • Closely matches Smart2020 established base prediction of 4.067 Billion PCs by 2020 • A reasonable 50% PC penetration by 2020 • 4.3 Billion PCs in 2020

Important Assumptions on PC Sector 5-Year Life Cycle
Important Assumptions on PC Sector Established Base Computation – Case II • Internet Users numbers from CIA World Factbook to derive PC established base • Assume number of internet users to reflect PC base closely • Non-internet connect PCs and sharing of PCs cancel each other out maybe? • Only 3 world data points but gives very good curve fit as the data points are spread over a long period • 2002, 2005 & 2008 years estimates • Gives an estimate of 5.75 Billion Pcs by 2020
Important Assumptions on PC Sector Energy Consumption • To estimate the energy consumption of a PC, its operation was divided into 3 different modes: • Active mode – when PC is on and CPU is functioning • Sleep mode – when CPU is on standby • Off mode – when CPU is off but is plugged into the socket • Usage patterns for different modes of operation are obtained from TIAX from the report submitted to the US Dept. of Energy. • The usage pattern values was based on data of year 2005 • Lower bound estimate that usage in future years will be at least as much as 2005 was made • Sleep & Off modes power consumption from the ENERGY STAR ratings • The latest energy star ratings was used to define the lower bound on sleep and off mode power consumption • All PCs are assumed to satisfy Energy Star ratings • As the top 5 models PC power numbers weren’t available, the active PC power consumption of some popular models listed in following websites was used • Univ. of Pennsylvania, Information Systems and Computing • Apple Energy and Environment website • White paper “Review of Computer Energy Consumption and Potential Savings” sponsored by Dragon Systems Software Limited. • Note: Lowest values of power consumption were taken • for having lower bound estimates for the energy consumption
Important Assumptions on PC Sector Energy Consumption • All the power consumption analysis was done independently for desktops and laptop PCs • decrease in power consumption of desktops – polynomial fit • in accordance with the historical trends observed • Two curves showing both increase and decrease in power consumption of laptops – polynomial fit • Ambiguous historical data in which some models have increased energy consumption while some show a slight decrease
Important Assumptions on Data Center Sector Established Base Energy Consumption • Established base numbers till 2020 were extrapolated based on Gartner and Koomey’s reports • Matched Smart 2020 report’s extrapolated establised base numbers • A linear increase in energy consumption of data centers was assumed • As opposed to Smart2020’s view of no increase in energy consumption • Equal energy consumption for running and cooling the data center was assumed for all extrapolations • In accordance with assumption by Koomey et al. • Half the energy consumption of data centers is assumed to be from electronics usage • The other half is by cooling
Important Assumptions on Mobile Sector Established Base Computation – Case I • Only mobile devices have been considered in this study • Other telecom devices not considered • Like IPTV boxes, broadband modems • Telecom infrastructure was not considered • Extrapolations using curve fitting were done based on the historical data of Gartner Inc. • Life cycle of a mobile phone was assumed to be 3 years • 2009 data from Gartner was used as well • Best regression model gives an estimate of 6.5 Billion established mobile base by 2020
Important Assumptions on Mobile Sector Established Base Computation – Case II Linear Regression • Extrapolations using curve fitting were done based on the data from CIA World Factbook. • Best regression models give an estimate of 20-50 Billion established mobile base by 2020 • Two reasonable fits were found • Linear model gave 11 Billion established base • Power model gave 7.3 Billion established base • To decide on the growth trends, the basket approach was used • Was not conclusive

Important Assumptions on Mobile Sector “Basket” Approach Best Fit - Polynomial Total established base for these countries is 12 Billion by 2020!!
Important Assumptions on Mobile Sector “Basket” Approach Linear Fit – 97.2% accurate Total established base for these countries is 5.5 Billion by 2020 Power Fit – 91.2% accurate Not Conclusive!
Important Assumptions on Mobile Sector Energy Consumption • For the mobile phone power consumption • Energy consumption of a device is equal to the battery energy storage capacity • Different values based on charging frequency were given • lower bound estimate: charging once in two days • Average estimate: charging once a day • Higher bound estimate: charging twice a day • Doesn’t impact the total values by much as Mobile sector energy consumption is negligible compared to other sectors • Popular Nokia models were only considered for obtaining the energy consumption per device • As most of the similar cellphones have the same battery capacity
Important Assumptions on Gaming Sector Established Base Energy Consumption • Extrapolations using curve fitting were done based on the historical data of NPD group and VGChartz • A quadratic increase in established base is assumed • Gives a reasonable 700,000 game consoles by 2020 • Number of televisions is same as the video game consoles in that year • As televisions are assumed to be used with gaming consoles in our analysis • Power consumption values were obtained from: • The Energy Saving Trust, “The ampere strikes back” • Detailed power consumption of various popular gaming consoles • Different modes of power consumption • Projections to power consumption were assumed to increase logarithmically • Gave a reasonable 250 watts per device by 2020 • Linear increase gave unreasonably high 800Watts per device by 2020 • Usage statistics of gaming device was obtained from Consumer Electronic Association (CEA) • Alternate scenarios with higher gaming device usage will be plotted as well
Important Assumptions on Gaming Sector Energy Consumption • Weighted average of the different gaming consoles based on their market share was done • to obtain the energy consumption per device • Different power modes were considered • Television power consumption was based on ”Efficiency standards for televisions”, California Energy Commission, 2008. • Television power consumption is assumed to be decreasing over the years • An constant average TV screen size 26” is taken for all extrapolations
