>Study on "Towards an overall measurement methodology of the carbon and energy footprints of the ICT sector" – SMART 2011/0073 -

The objective of this study is to identify and carry out critical analyses of the existing methodologies and initiatives aiming at measuring the GHG emissions and energy consumption applicable to the ICT sector (ICT products, services and companies).
The expected result is to get a clear picture and critical comparison of the methodologies and initiatives that exist or are in preparation, in the EU and globally.

Frequent asked questions

>Study on "Methodology for energy-efficiency measurements applicable to ICT in buildings" – SMART 2011/0072

The study should allow
- to collect the appropriate data and produce a better quantitative analysis of the energy savings potential of ICT solutions in residential and non-residential buildings,
- to define a common way to establish and calculate the energy savings for non-residential buildings.
It would facilitate the evaluation of behavioural changes occurring due to the installation of ICT solutions and better public awareness. The findings can also be used in order to take future policy decisions, to determine future research areas and topics to support from EU funding.

Study on "The practical application of the new framework methodology for measuring the environmental impact of ICT – cost/benefit analysis" – SMART 2012/0064
Dedline: 10/05/2012

The objective of the study is to assess whether the coherent methodological framework for measuring the GHG and energy footprints
of ICT are suitable for the integration into concrete policy measures that contribute to the "greening" of ICT.
The contractor is expected to examine a broad bandwidth of relevant measures that could be based on the methodological framework. This should include mandatory and voluntary initiatives which could be relevant for ICT products, systems, services and organisations.
On the basis of a mapping of relevant measures and an analysis of trends in the ICT sector the contractor should identify most promising options and analyse these in more depth.
