2. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Objectives  How could the Future Internet help to relieve the main problems affecting sustainability at planetary scale?  Greenhouse gas emissions need to be drastically diminished during the coming decades  European 20-20-20 objective: by 2020, 20% increase of energy efficiency 20% increase of renewable energy sources 20% reduction of CO2 emissions  Sustainability of the Future Internet  Focusing on the full life cycle of Internet equipment  Future Internet for Sustainability  Using Internet to increase sustainability in other sectors  Multi-disciplinary approach taking into account the user  User adoption: are energy-efficient technologies used?  User behavior: potential vs. realistic energy savings WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

3. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Tasks  R8.1: Assessment and reduction strategies for ICT energy consumption  R8.2: Investigating ‘ICT for Sustainability” tracks  R8.3: How to influence the user behavior  R8.4: How to be influenced by the user behavior: potential versus realistic benefit from ‘ICT for Green’ solutions WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability Proposal to merge these two tasks, to increase the discussion platform

4. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Overview of Work Performed  Delivery of D8.1, with a comprehensive overview of ICT energy consumption  Energy efficiency metrics and benchmarks  Global ICT footprint study  Specific use cases  Energy efficiency options  Discovering synergies between the JRA8 partners and defining several topics for further collaboration  Residential power plugs & social networks  Electrical vehicles in smart grids, with a focus on recharging and batteries  Data centers in smart grids, tackling the reduction of peak loads  Energy consumption in buildings, using sensor networks  Effective demand/response mechanisms, with special interest for user behavior WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

5. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Achievements  Two workshops / conferences supported by EINS JRA8:  Symposium on “Energy Consumption of the Internet”, organized during ECOC2012, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Sep. 2012, co-organized by iMinds  SustainIT2012, Conference on Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability, Pisa, Italy, Oct. 2012, organized by CNR / UCAM  Invited presentations at  GreenTouch members meeting  GNY Area Multimedia and Vision Meeting  IBM Research Center  Publications in:  JSAC, Optics Express, … WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

6. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Deliverables  D8.1 - Overview of ICT energy consumption  Energy efficiency metrics and benchmarks  Global ICT footprint study  Specific use cases  Energy efficiency options WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

7. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Links with other activities  Other JRAs  JRA1-2: evaluating the proposals in these JRAs with respect to the JRA8 goals  JRA3: aligning the used monitoring tools and measurement infrastructure  JRA4: paying attention to sustainability in standards and regulation  JRA5: taking into account privacy issues for monitoring energy consumption  JRA7: evaluating the impact of resilience on energy footprint  Other research projects  FP7 NoE-TREND, FIT4GREEN, G-Lab Ener_G, All4Green  Other initiatives  GreenTouch WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

8. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Future Plans  Finalization of D8.5.1 and D8.2  Kick-off of collaborative work as presented above, with focus on:  Sustainability, which is broader than energy consumption in the use phase  Interdisciplinary work, taking into account the user behavior  Stronger collaboration with other JRAs, projects and initiatives  Organization of JRA8 workshop, most probably at SustainIT 2013 (Oct. 2013) WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability

9. 1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013 Conclusions  In year 1, JRA8 built the fundaments for steering the JRA in the right direction in the coming years  Collection of a lot of data that will be used as benchmark in further work  Discovering synergies between the JRA8 partners  Defining several topics for further collaboration  Main achievements  1 deliverable, 2 workshops/conferences co- organized, several publications and presentations WP8: JRA8 - Internet for Sustainability
