SMART2020: Enabling the low carbon economy in the information age A report by The Climate Group on behalf of the Global eSustainability Initiative (GeSI)
•ICT contributes 2% of current global carbon emissions (0.53 GtCO2e - 2002, 0.83 GtCO2e - 2007) •Business as usual (BAU) this will nearly double to 1.43 GtCO2e by 2020

Where are we doing a good job?
9Converging networks using fewer materials, requiring less maintenance, facilitating system integrations for automation and reporting
9Implementing Energy Management Systems (EMS) 9Integrating Building Automation Systems (BAS) with AODB 9Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations by use of permit tracking systems
9Reporting KPIs related to energy management in dashboards to airport staff
We shape a better world
…a good job?
9Calculating emissions for flights from takeoffs to landing at next destination
9Maintaining ground vehicles proactively with a CMMS to reduce emissions
9Reporting greenhouse gas inventory online 9Favorable landing fees for quiet aircraft (integrating Noise Management System (NMS) with billing)
9Engineering/architectural contracts and bid documents distributed on CDs
We shape a better world
…a good job?
9Work orders submitted electronically (hand-held applications for CMMS)
9Measuring and monitoring air quality inside and outside airport buildings
9Measuring and monitoring water use 9Monitoring and managing lights and HVAC to reduce energy consumption
9Integrating BAS with Flight Information Systems (FIS) to do this automatically
We shape a better world
…a good job?
9Using Common Use Systems to aggregate flights in terminal 9Operate escalators and moving walkways in sleep mode based on occupancy
9Using green procurement practices 9Providing cell phone lots (with or without WiFi) 9Publicizing our efforts

The Good News
The Bad News
We shape a better world
Enabling energy efficiencies in other sectors can deliver carbon savings potentially much larger than the footprint of the entire ICT sector.

We shape a better world Gate Information Displays (GIDS) Baggage Information Displays ()
GIDS display information for flight, aircraft, and baggage movement on gate Display information relating to flight, aircraft, and baggage movement on monitors at monitors. the baggage handling carrousels for the general public, and on terminals for airline and airport operations staff. Ramp Information Displays (RIDS) RIDS display information relating to flight operations for ground handling staff. Flight Information Displays (FIDS) FIDS display information for flight, aircraft, and passenger movement on monitors for the general public, and on terminals for airline and airport operations staff. Transportation Information Displays (TIDS) TIDS display information relating to ground transportation, and taxi/limo pick up. Gate Allocation Management System (GAMS) GAMS supports and automates the process of allocating airport resources, such as gates and stands, using the most up to date flight movement information. Check In Desk Allocation System (CIDAS) CIDAS is used to support and automate the process of allocating check‐in desks, using the most up to date flight information. Baggage Handling Control System (BHCS) Automates the sortation of passenger luggage inbound, outbound and transfer. Ramp Services Systems – Ramp Services The RSMS integrates and networks the different individual Ramp Service systems . It Management System (RSMS) acts as a single interface to either building or airport technology systems, for monitoring, energy/ usage metering, alarming etc. Fixed Ground Power () The provides 400 Hz power to the aircraft at the gates. Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB) PBB provide an enclosed, secure, safe and comfortable access for passengers and crew during enplaning and deplaning between aircraft and the terminal building. Potable Water (PW) PW provides potable water to the aircraft Pre Conditioned Air (PCA) PCA provides pre‐conditioned air to the aircraft.
