Policy: Three 20% targets for 2020 • December 2008: Council and Parliament adopted the Climate and Energy Package that reinforces Europe’s commitment to: • ●A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels • ● 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable resources • ● A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy efficiency.

Energy Consumption of ICT solutions Energy Reductions enabled by ICT ~8% of total electricity consumption ~15% by 2020 Source: An ICT policy agenda to 2015 for Europe (Swedish Presidency) Sources: Pickavet & all (UGent-IBBT) EuropeanCommission DG Information Society and Media, Unit H4
Green Information Systems • Impact on the environment - IS asconsumersofpower infrastructure: office equipment, data centers Green IS - IS tosupportawareness and controlofenergyefficiency buildings, cities, water, electricitygrid… IS for Green
Three questions • Q1 - Whichis the contributionthat the information systems community (mainlyasitis in CAiSe, aboutengineering information systems) can give in this domain? • Q2 - Which are possibleresearchdirections, which focus wouldyousuggest (green IT or IT for Green?) • Q3 - Yourexperience and resultsin the field? (isitdifficulttogetresearchresults in thisfield in your opinion?)
Q1 - Contribution • Modeling • Definitionofrequirements, severalstakeholders • Processmodeling
Q2 – New research • Research in ownfield • Contributetounderstanding and developing in Green Domain • Concepts • Relationshipsamongconcepts • Management ofmonitoring data • Providingservices and service infrastructure • QoS
