connect communicate collaborate HEAnet: longitudinal study of Greenhouse Gas audits Mike Norris March 2012

connect communicate collaborate Agenda About HEAnet Strategy of the Green GÉANT team GHG audit in 2008/09 Actions taken GHG audit in 2010/11 Comparison Conclusions

connect communicate collaborate About HEAnet: clients and users 7 Universities 15 Institutes of Technology 7 other third level Colleges 5 local education committees 6 Colleges of Further Education 9 research organisations 12 other Organisations User community of 200,000 + All primary and secondary schools

connect communicate collaborate Fibre network, Aug 2011 ~2300 km

connect communicate collaborate

HEAnet staff commute

connect communicate collaborate Audit strategy of Green GÉANT team Use ISO standard Carry out direct measurements where possible Use categories & template developed by UNIC Independent validation of audit

connect communicate collaborate GHG audit, categories Office Data centres - services Transportation - commute - on mission Backbone network + Schools network

connect communicate collaborate GHG Audit, 2008/09: total, 1765 tons of CO 2 equivalent

connect communicate collaborate Actions taken Office power, change to ‘greener’ supply Staff environmental awareness day Revise policy on school routers Review commercial data centre practice Maintain ‘green’ criteria in procurements Increase usage of VC to replace travel Agree to carry out audit of asset database Poll staff for ideas

connect communicate collaborate GHG Audit, 2010/11: total, 2291 tons of CO 2 equivalent

connect communicate collaborate Comparison of the two audits

connect communicate collaborate Normalise and compare

connect communicate collaborate Conclusions Renewable mix of electricity has a real effect Use of videoconferencing reduces travel (So do the recession and budget cuts) Schools 100Mbps project has significant effect Client resilience project also increases Carbon footprint Major increase in storage and server business has effect Scope increasing as clients outsource more to HEAnet Efficiencies can’t offset the absolute upward trend Need for more renewable energy sources Other ?

connect communicate collaborate By Sector Core networks and data centres/PoPs are the largest factors in network carbon footprints. So this is where the biggest reductions need to be made.
