“In total, ICTs [Information & Communications Technology] could deliver approximately 7.8 GtCO2e of emissions savings in 2020. This represents 15% of emissions in 2020…”
Two of the most interesting and innovative climate solutions that can contribute to a higher quality of life and decreased ecological footprint are virtual meetings and telecommuting.
World Wildlife Fund Report, From Workplace to Anyplace, March 2009
“…each economic sector will realize double-digit percentage cost reductions in power consumption (>30 percent) and product waste cost savings (for commercial buildings, 50-90 percent) through adoption of green telecom solutions.”
Independent Reports Coming to Similar Conclusions

Climate Change What is the root of the problem?
We move around too much, and there are too many buildings

Trends: Substitution must begin if we are going to curb climate change…
“Increasing virtual meetings and telecommuting today could, without any dramatic measures, help to save more than 3 billion tons of CO2 emissions in a few decades; this is equivalent to approximately half of the current US CO2 emissions.”

• Technology and device agnostic: cell, VoIP, PDA, POTS phone, computer
• Detaches the phone number from location
Voice Over IP (VoIP)
• Just a transmission protocol, no features or applications
• Enabling technology, the method not the means – more
portable and flexible than traditional technologies
Virtual PBX

Case Study Sun Microsystems OpenWork
9,095 employees (55% of total workforce) are in the Open Work program, working from home at least 1-2 days per week
Office space is allocated for home-assigned employees at a ratio of 10:1 and flexible employees at a ratio of 4:1.
Huge reduction in the need for office space - Fiscal 2007 alone, Sun reduced their real estate holdings by 15% (2.7 million square feet) and save $68 million in real estate costs.
The subsequent reductions in building energy use and commuting are estimated to have saved 23,868 metric tons of CO2 in fiscal 2007.
