Eco-conception

This booklet is a complement to the 3 booklets of good practices related to software development proposed by the network of actors of software development within the french Education and Research: DevLOG. This project is dedicated to good practices in terms of eco-design of digital services that allow to apprehend, understand and reduce the environmental impact of digital technology. macro After explaining the general context in the first sheet, a second sheet ("But Why?") highlights the need to integrate an environmental dimension into our digital service designs, and consequently into our software developments. The third sheet ("When?") reminds us of the stages in the life cycle of a digital service and introduces the good practice sheets that correspond to the different stages: "Before", "During" and "After", bearing in mind that development is often iterative, and the boundaries between the different stages are permeable. At the end of the booklet, you will find a specific sheet on eco-design practices for scientific computing, as well as sheets on development on mobile platforms, for the web and on hardware accelerators.

This self-paced course aims to support national stakeholders in developing national Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) policy and regulation. In addition to an introduction and overview, the course consists of the following four modules: 1) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), 2) Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), 3) Financial Management, and 4) Government Stakeholder Groups and Interests.

The world has enough rare earth minerals and other critical raw materials to switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy to produce electricity and limit global warming, according to a new study that counters concerns about the supply of such minerals.

How product designers can break from the status quo and help our planet

John Booth, Chair DCA Energy Efficiency SIG & MD, Carbon 3IT, discusses who will be regulating the data centre sector and what the implications will be. The data centre has always been subject to regulation, but this is more by default rather than direct and targeted legislation. We fall under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, for power systems, the Energy

Le Design de Service est une démarche de conception centrée utilisateurs qui permet de créer ou re-concevoir des services de bout en bout et sous toutes leurs dimensions (géographique, temporelle,…

Énergivores et imposants, les data centers sont pourtant libres de s’installer où ils veulent. Lier planification énergétique et urbaine devient urgent pour freiner leur essor, soutient l’auteur de cette tribune. Daniel Rousseaux est urbaniste, spécialiste en participation citoyenne et intéressé par les questions d’environnement. Derrière l’image sobre et bleutée des serveurs ronronnant dans les centres de données (« data centers ») se cachent de véritables usines électriques. Chaque fois que vous (...)
