Policy: Three 20% targets for 2020

December 2008: Council and Parliament adopted the Climate and Energy Package that reinforces Europe’s commitment to:

● A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels● 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable resources● A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy efficiency.

Impact on the environment

- IS as consumers of powerinfrastructure: office equipment, data centersGreen IS

- IS to support awareness and control of energy efficiency

buildings, cities, water, electricity grid…IS for Green

Green Information Systems

Q1 - Which is the contribution that the information systems community (mainly as it is in CAiSe, about engineering information systems) can give in this domain?

Q2 - Which are possible research directions, which focus would you suggest (green IT or IT for Green?)

Q3 - Your experience and results in the field? (is it difficult to get research results in this field in your opinion?)

Three questions

Modeling

Definition of requirements, several stakeholders

Process modeling

Q1 - Contribution

Research in own field
