Sectors include agriculture, buildings, consumer electronics,energy supply, forestry, ICT, public sector and transport. Some case studies are trulycross-sectoral and are listed accordingly.06Index 3 – by Technology TypeThe third index lists the case studies by type of technology and reflects the structureof our report "High Tech: Low Carbon – the role of technology in tackling climatechange". Those case studies listed under best practice illustrate improvements we havemade to our own products and services through the three phases of design, manufactureand use. The next section includes the rest of the case studies which all demonstrate howthe intelligent application of technology across other sectors is delivering energy savingsand emissions reductions over the wider economy. These case studies explore enhancing,enabling and transforming technologies in turn. These categories are not definitive;many technologies apply to more than one category.08Case Study SummariesShort summaries of the case studies within Intellect’s Case Study Library. All illustrate waysin which the technology sector is either delivering improvements in the efficiency of its productsand services or demonstrating how the intelligent use of technology is delivering measurableemissions reductions across the wider economy. Full case studies are available in most cases.11For full case studies please visit www.intellectuk.org/casestudies02 High Tech: Low Carbon: The role of ICT in tackling climate change - Case study directory: Indexes and summaries

IntroductionIn February 2008, Intellect published a report,High Tech: Low Carbon, which was effectively astatement for the technology sector*. It explored the critical role that technology can playin reducing energy use across the economy. Itstarted by examining the sector’s own productsand services and addressed a number of problems like proliferation, standby and rapid obsolescence. The report then went on to explorethe ways that technology helps other sectors tobecome more efficient, firstly by enhancingexisting processes to make them more efficient(so that people can do the same things theyalready do but more efficiently) secondly byenabling new processes (so that people can dothings in different ways) and thirdly, by transforming behaviour through virtualisation (doingdifferent things altogether and creating new,low-carbon business models). It concludes thatinnovation and the intelligent use of technologyprovide two possible solutions to climatechange, and that everything possible must bedone to accelerate their development and implementation.The report was accompanied by a number ofcase studies that provided evidence to back upthe points we were making. Since publication,this set of case studies has been expanded andnow comprises around a hundred differentexamples. This document effectively drawstogether all of our case studies into a singledigest. Each one is summarised into a shortparagraph. Longer versions can be found onIntellect’s website.For further information contact:Emma FryerHead of Climate Change ProgrammesIntellectRussell Square House10-12 Russell SquareLondon WC1B 5EET 01609 772 137M 07714 803 650E emma.fryer@intellectuk.orgW www.intellectuk.org*For the purposes of this document, the technology sector comprises the Information andCommunications Technologies (ICT) and Consumer Electronics (CE) sectors, including electronics manufacturing, defence and spacerelated IT. These broad titles, however, disguise a wide range of environmental offeringsthat include, to name but a few, virtual conferencing and collaboration tools, satellite broadcasting systems, intelligent transport systemsincluding transport telematics, logistics andsatellite navigation tools, building and energymanagement systems, photovoltaics, in-silicomodelling, testing and CAD and carbon auditing and accounting systems.The case studies enclosed are also indexed inthree different ways, to make them as accessible and useful as possible: by alphabetical order of title, by sector and by technology type(see above).High Tech: Low Carbon: The role of ICT in tackling climate change - Case study directory: Indexes and summaries03

Case study summaries (alphabetical order of title)1E: Nightwatchman and Peterborough CityCouncilNightWatchman is a computer programme thatenables computers that are left on but not inuse to be switched of centrally, safely andremotely. Peterborough City Council has 4,500staff and estimated that 30% of PCs werebeing left on when not in use, costing theauthority between 40 and 60 per machine.Even after an education programme, machineswere still being left on because staff found ithard to differentiate between stand-by andoff-modes. The Authority recentlyimplemented the NightWatchman softwaresolution, supplied by 1E, across its entire ICTinfrastructure. It achieved a return oninvestment within 3 months, cost savings of 50,000 per annum and a reduction of 250tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.Apsys: SIMLOG and system analysisWith much confusion over which systemarchitecture has the least life cycle cost andlowest carbon emissions, Apsys has developed anew model. Over the last 15 years APSYS hasdeveloped and supplied an Integrated LogisticSupport (ILS) software tool called SIMLOG. Themain functions of SIMLOG are maintenanceoptimisation and life cycle cost (LCC)assessment. What makes this new moduledifferent is that it calculates the carbonemissions of a system and its maintenance andenables users to identify which systemarchitecture and which maintenance optionshave the lowest carbon footprint and to selectthe most energy efficient option. Furthermore,it enables the carbon emissions for each optionto be costed per tonne, and provides a metricfor life cycle cost assessment.ACIS and The Bridge: Intelligent TransportSystemsACIS is implementing Intelligent TransportSystems in Dartford, UK to encourage the useof public transport. The system currently beingadopted provides residents with an electronicdisplay in their homes which tells them whenthe next bus will arrive. Buses also use TLP(traffic light priority) to improve speed throughtraffic lights and bottlenecks if necessary,improving reliability and regulating the service.Atkins: Transport Modelling in ScotlandAtkins has developed sophisticated modellingtools to enable transport planners and decisionmakers to identify and implement transportstrategies with the least environmental impact.These calculate operational emissions from thetransport network, using inputs from traditionaltransport models as well as taking into accountadditional factors such as local trips,behavioural change programmes and financialincentives. The tools are helping the ScottishGovernment to assess the effectiveness ofdifferent policy options in reducing thecontribution of transport to climate change.AMD: PowerNow! TechnologyAMD PowerNow! Technology is a powermanagement solution integrated into AMDOpteron processors that helps to reduce CPU(central processing unit) power consumption inservers by 15% and up to 40% at idle.Correspondingly, this also lowers the electricityconsumption of the cooling equipment. Theresult is increased performance by Wattbecause power and cooling requirements arereduced. Combined with other technologies,such as AMD CoolCore technology (whichshuts off the flow of electricity to sections ofthe processor when not in use) energyconsumption can be decreased even further.These systems should be implemented in aspart of a holistic process of energymanagement– i.e. in data centers which havealready been reorganised, i.e. unnecessaryhardware removed, the system consolidatedand virtualised.BAE Systems: IVHM – Round the clock MOT formilitary vehiclesIVHM or Integrated Vehicle Health Monitoringis a pioneering system being developed by BAESystems in partnership with Rolls Royce, Thales,Boeing, Meggitt and Cranfield University.Simplistically it joins together a chain ofmaintenance and support technologies whichdetect faults in military vehicles before theycause damage. As a result maintenance is donewhen needed, servicing and replacementrequirements become more predictable and thelikelihood of catastrophic failure is muchreduced. Fault sensors, corrosion sensors andacoustic crack detectors monitor the conditionof vehicle parts, radar systems monitor enginesfor foreign bodies and performance andintelligent fault diagnostic technologies (IFDT)use software tools to diagnose faults. Theinformation is communicated to maintenancecrews via a logistics infrastructure. The systemwill dramatically improve efficiency byoptimising vehicles, parts and labour but willalso save many millions of pounds a year.High Tech: Low Carbon: The role of ICT in tackling climate change - Case study directory: Indexes and summaries11
