HIGH-TECH COMPANIES COMMITTEDTO REDUCING ENERGY DEMAND FURTHER
Intel has set a 2001 corporate objective to reduce its energy consumption by 10 percent this year.
Agilent Technologies is budgeting $20 million for projects aimed at significantly reducing its energy consumption with the expectation that these efforts will reduce energy consumption by 15 percent.
Hewlett Packards energy conservation efforts have helped it cut five kilowatt-hours off its energy usage at its Cupertino campus every year since 1991, despite having increased the size of the facility by 300,000 square feet. Source: Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group

HIGH-TECH COMPANIES COMMITTED TO REDUCING ENERGY DEMAND FURTHER (cont.)
Over the last 10 years, IBM has conserved an estimated 8.2 billion kilowatt hours of electricity and, as a result, avoided approximately 5.66 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, while saving about $518 million in expenses.
Sun Microsystems commitment to energy conservation has resulted in a 37% reduction in energy use at one facility and use of more energy efficient photocopiers saved 220,000kw nationwide during 1999. Source: Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group

ELECTRICITY USED BY HIGH-TECH PRODUCTSHigh-tech products are NOT major component of national electricity demand
Lawrence Berkeley National Labs (LBNL) has analyzed high-tech energy demand and concluded:
Office and network equipment comprise only 2 percent of U.S. electricityIncluding telecommunications equipment and energy to produce office equipment, demand share rises to only 3 percentAnalysis based on bottom up effort using best measured data
Source: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL)
High-Tech Energy Working Group
POPULAR MYTHSMedia attention for previous analysis by Greening Earth Society (GES) (Western Fuels Association) reached a different conclusion:
Internet-related share of national electricity demand was 8 percent in 1998Total electricity demand by all computers and office equipment was 13 percent in 1998Growth to 50 percent within 20 years
GES analysis was based on inaccurate data and assumptions (see back up slide)
High-Tech Energy Working Group
MYTH FACT1. The Internet was responsible for 8 percent of all electricity use in 1998
2. The entire digital economy (including office, telecommunications, and network equipment) accounted for 13 percent (98)
3. Each Cisco router uses 1,000 watts 4. PC plus monitor uses 1,000 watts
Source: Mark Mills, The Internet Begins With Coal
1. This statistic is exaggerated by a factor of 8
2. It is actually about 3 percent.
3. Actual use is about 100 watts of power 4. PC plus monitor in use = 100-120watts of electricity and dips to 20-25 watts or less in energy-saving mode

THE INTERNET POTENTIAL
The Internet enables energy efficiency gains of two basic types:
Structural gains: achieved when growth shifts to sectors of the economy that are not particularly energy-intensive such as the high-tech industry and away from sectors such as chemical manufacturing, pulp or paper manufacturing, and construction, which are energy-intensive
Efficiency gains: achieved when businesses change their activities reducing energy use relative to their output of goods and services

THE INTERNET POTENTIAL -- STRUCTURAL GAINSStructural gains could include:
Reduction of, or elimination of the need for, office space. By 2007, B2C and B2B e-commerce together could avoid the need for 1.5 billion square feet of retail space and up to 1 billion square feet of warehouse space.
Energy savings just from the operations and maintenance of these "un-buildings" could total 53 billion kilowatt hours per year, about 13 percent of total electricity growth projected under business-as-usual scenarios.

THE INTERNET POTENTIAL -- EFFICIENCY GAINS
Efficiency gains could include:
The use of the Internet to purchase goods. Internet shopping uses less energy to get a package to a house: Shipping 10 pounds of packages by overnight air - the most energy-intensive delivery - uses 40 percent less fuel than driving roundtrip to the mall. Shipping by truck saves 90 percent.

MACRO TRENDS VALIDATEENERGY EFFICIENCY ROLE OF INTERNETRise of Internet has coincided with a decrease rather than an increase in energy intensiveness of economy
Comparing pre-Internet era (1992-6) to Internet era (1996-2000):
GDP growth rate increased by nearly 50 percent, whileElectricity demand growth rates actually declined
If Internet was a significant energy hog, you would expect to see accelerated electricity demand growth rates, not the decline the data actually show

TECHNOLOGY SUCCESS STORIES
Intel has developed the "Instantly Available PC" (IAPC) power management chip technology that enables PCs to meet the new Energy Star standard of 15 watts sleep-state power consumption.
PCs with IAPC consume 63% less energy per year than non-power managed PCs, driving an energy savings of over $10 billion in the US alone over the next 10 years. This energy savings also reduces the pollution associated with generating electricity, equivalent to taking nearly 22 million cars off the road.

AMD flash memory semiconductors, found in a variety of appliances, equipment and vehicles, consume very low amounts of power, e.g. 0.002 0.036 watts, and these devices consume so little current in standby (0.0000002 amperes) that most test equipment cannot measure it.
AMDs microprocessor families support the Energy Star computer specification of 15 W watts sleep-state power consumption. AMD has also developed PowerNow!, a combination of software and hardware, which allows set top boxes to reduce power consumption up to 74%.

Canon has developed a new "on demand" fixer technology for photocopiers that reduces energy consumption to 1/4th of the conventional level, while dramatically reducing warm-up times.
Ricohs Aficio1035 copier, launched in 2001, use one-ninth of the power of the Ricoh DS5330, launched in 1994 (34Wh/h/ 297Wh/h = 1/9 ).

IBM's revamped eServer z900 provides significant energy cost and space advantages over traditional server arrangements.
Kodaks Digital Video Camera, the DVC323, allows customers to shoot still pictures or motion video even to have a live teleconference using home or office computers, which substitutes energy intensive travel with remote interaction.
From 1994 to 1997, the computing speed of IBMs AS/400 Model 9406 computer has increased six times while its power consumption in 1997 is only one-fifth of that in 1994.
