Scientific community is in agreement IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (2013) " "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s,
many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia”.
" "Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have increased to levels unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years”.
" Human influence on the climate system is clear. It is extremely likely (95-100% probability) that human influence was the dominant cause of global warming between 1951-2010.
" "Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further [global] warming and changes in all components of the climate system. Limiting climate change will require substantial and sustained reductions of greenhouse gas emissions”.
" "Most aspects of climate change will persist for many centuries even if emissions of CO2 are stopped".

Greening NRENs: making the own organization more sustainable
General description NRENs focus on the footprint of their own organization. We measure our impact and find ways to reduce it. Examples • GHG audits • Environmental policy • Data center efficiency (PUE) • Procurement and e-waste policies • Teleworking for NREN staff • Climate preparedness: business continuity plans

Example – measuring the backbone

just equipment
How would you measure it?
Measure twice at least
Different types of location, all types of equipment

What did they do? - Virtualization - Faster replacement of servers - Raise temperature - Optimize (localized) cooling - Optimize configuration
een ICT-scan laten uitvoeren op de energie-efficiëntie van de rekenhallen. Deze scan hebben we gebruikt als nulmeting, op basis waarvan we verbeteringen hebben doorgevoerd. Overigens wilden we ook beter kunnen meten welke projecten hoeveel energie ver-bruiken. Die gegevens hebben we nodig om kosten door te kunnen berekenen, met name als het gaat om Europees gesubsidieerde projecten zoals LOFAR.’
AanbevelingenDe ICT-scan kijkt naar de volgende aspecten:
(stroomvoorziening, koeling, bezettingsgraad)
netwerk)
en gemonitord van de ICT-infrastructuur?
efficiëntie (bijvoorbeeld de afschrijvingsduur van apparatuur)
De ICT-scan leverde het CIT een schat aan informatie op. Dit radardiagram biedt daarvan een samenvatting:
VerbeteringenHet CIT is aan de slag gegaan met de aanbevelingen van de ICT-scan, in nauwe samenwerking met het fa-cilitair bedrijf van de RUG (verantwoordelijk voor koelingen, stroomvoorziening enzovoort) en de dienst Vastgoed en Investering (verantwoordelijk voor totstandkoming van de gebouwen). Gankema: ‘Alleen door deze gezamenlijke inspanning konden we de energiebesparing realiseren. Extra uitdaging was dat de prioriteiten van deze afdelingen uiteenlopen.’
Enkele tips voor verbeteringen die bij het CIT veel effect gehad hebben:
Virtualiseren
één fysieke server kunnen tientallen virtuele servers draaien, waarvoor vroeger per stuk een fysieke server nodig was. Zo zijn bij het CIT nu honderden servers minder nodig.
‘ De scan liet ons zien dat er veel te winnen was. Door de voorgestelde verbeteringen door te voeren, moest het mogelijk zijn om bijna 75% op de overheadkosten voor energie te besparen’, aldus Gankema.

Best PracticeICT-scan helpt RUG verduurzamenHet IT-centrum van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (RUG) wordt steeds groener.
Bij de verbouwing en vernieuwing in 2010 is aan duurzaamheid specifiek aan-
dacht besteed, onder andere met een ICT-scan. Hans Gankema, hoofd server-
infrastructuur, was verantwoordelijk voor dit deelproject. ‘Er viel nog heel wat te
winnen op het vlak van duurzaamheid’.
Rekenhallen duurzamerHet Donald Smits Centrum voor Informatie Technolo-gie (CIT) biedt IT-diensten, met name aan de RUG en daarnaast aan (onderwijs)instellingen in de regio. Het CIT levert kantoorautomatisering, maar ook reken-kracht voor wetenschappelijke projecten. Voorbeel-den daarvan zijn LOFAR, Target en BiG Grid. Voor dit soort projecten heeft het CIT een supercomputer en diverse grote Linux High Performance Computing clusters in huis.
Het CIT beschikt over twee fysiek gescheiden reken-hallen om de diensten te kunnen leveren. Deze reken-hallen gebruiken uiteraard veel energie. Toen ze in 2010 vernieuwd werden omdat de capaciteit niet meer aan de vraag voldeed, was verduurzaming van de ICT een deelproject. Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat de rekenhallen zo weinig mogelijk energie verbruiken?
Gankema: ‘Om erachter te komen op welke vlakken energiebesparing mogelijk was, hebben we in 2009

Delivering Green Services
General description NRENs can deliver specific green services that help HE institutions green themselves ‘automatically’. By using such services as a substitution for others HE institutions can lower their carbon footprint. Examples • Videoconferencing • Greenstar network/Mantychore • Green cloud computing • Maturity Model Green ICT

Helping the HE community use Green ICT
General description NRENs promote the use of ICT in a green way in the campus environment. This can be in the form of helping ICT departments green themselves, but also using Green ICT in the primary processes (education, research). Examples • Dutch special interest group Green ICT • Dematerialization: e.g. digital testing in Norway • Smart meters & IPv6 in Greece

Doing good for society
General description NRENs look at the bigger picture. We want to go beyond ICT and help improve (environmental) sustainability for HE institutions and maybe even society. By doing this, NRENs remain a valued partner for HE and governments in the pursuit of doing good for society. Examples • HEAnet Green campus • MOOCs for development

Does Green (ICT) cost money?
" Several concepts have very low RoI à PC Power management < 1 year à Data center good practices
" Inter-organization optimization à Central (NREN) vs de-central (HE) à ICT department vs Facilities department à Between NRENs!
" Sustainability offers a new perspective à New business models (circular economy,
sharing economy) à Innovation (examples from other industries:
carpets, shampoo)
