1st ETSI workshop on Energy Efficiency

Overview

Protecting the environment is a global concern, and one which involves whole industries, as well as individuals. Reducing energy consumption and using energy more efficiently will provide obvious environmental benefits, but it also makes good business sense.

ETSI has been at the forefront of developing standards aimed at improving energy efficiency in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) networks, equipment and services. ETSI activities cover methods of measuring energy efficiency, environmental and infrastructural aspects for telecommunication equipment and its environment, power supply interface requirements and grounding for ICT equipment, alternative power sources in telecommunication installations, best practices to reduce energy consumption, and standards for life cycle analysis of environmental impact.

The workshop emphasized the design and the use of ICT to reduce environmental impact. In addition the workshop enabled the 80 delegates to share views on ongoing work on energy efficiency standards in ETSI and among other SDOs and research projects, identify any potential gaps and overlaps in energy efficiency standardization and analyze future requirements for energy efficiency standardization of ICT equipment and networks.
