Det kostar på att vara uppkopplad
Drygt 500 miljarder kronor per år, enligt IEAs beräkningar. Och energianvändningen för all vår elektronik för kommunikation, övervakning, spel, nöjen, spel osv. stiger snabbt, men kan hållas i schack (se bild nedan). Den onödiga användningen motsvarar redan mer än hela elanvändningen i Kanada!
Europa är lite på spåret genom sitt Ecodesignarbete men det krävs att fler hänger på och att man går lite längre. För den funktion vi vill ha hotas inte av att vi använder bättre teknik och att vi använder den på ett bättre sätt.
Det är inte rocket science att hindra utflödet av onödig energi men det fordrar att flera parter samverkar, enligt IEA:
* Policy makers, in developing policies and measures for different parts of the value chain to engage in energy efficiency and ensure that the pre‑conditions are in place to develop and implement energy efficient devices and systems, can provide incentives and establish market drivers
* Standard development organisations and intellectual property providers create the foundations and tehnical standards to enable and support energy efficient software and hardware solutions.
* Software and hardware developers design solutions that can be used by manufacturers of devices.
* Device manufacturers bring together software and hardware solutions, thereby determining the energy performance and energy efficiency features of devices.
* Network designers establish the terms on which devices can connect to networks and how they need to operate to be part of a network; they also ensure that network communication supports energy efficiency in all connected devices.
* Service providers that provide Internet or other digital services to end users manage bulk purchases and deploy large quantities of devices; they can be instrumental in creating a market for more energy efficient devices.
* Telecommunications industry ensures the development and implementation of network design that supports energy efficiency.
* Consumers can, with proper guidance, make energy efficient purchasing decisions and adjust the settings of their devices to reduce energy consumption.
