Go Green Breakfast Presentation - 29 April 2015 - Bristol Zoo
- 1. Go Green Business Breakfast – 29th April
- 2. About Us…. Go Green Prove-It Member Work closely with Bristol Zoo Gardens Headquartered in Bristol LEP Growth Fund Green Stripe
- 3. Energy and Efficiency Pillar Reducing Demand
- 4. Contrary to what Kermit says….
- 5. Why is Bristol Zoo doing it? It’s cool! All electronics consume a huge amount of energy throughout their lifecycle Manufacturing Operating Recycling All use energy Entropy always increases = everything gets hotter This is not good for the animals - including us
- 6. Why is Bristol Zoo doing it? It will reduce costs A desktop computer and monitor left on 24/7 will cost over £50 per year. A typical server costs £250 per year Modern technology is more energy efficient. With virtualisation you run multiple virtual servers on a single box. A modern server consolidating 4 older servers will pay for its own manufacture in 4 months
- 7. Why is Bristol Zoo doing it? Bristol Zoo has 10 virtual servers running on 4 physical servers. The saving is £1,500 per year in energy alone. A survey the Uptime Institute also calculates the saving in licensing and maintenance as 4x this.
- 8. Know what you’ve got – energy monitoring “server rooms can account for anywhere from 30 to 70 percent of an organization’s electricity consumption” NRDC Use what you’ve got…but better
- 10. Use what you’ve got…but better Do the right people understand the costs? “60 percent of the people that make server purchasing decisions do not have access to their company’s energy bill.“ Identify the highest demand Enable Power Management Create a checklist of things which can be switched off. Pick the low hanging fruit
- 11. New ways of working Remote meetings Video Conferencing Telepresence Collaboration Office 365, Google Apps and others Allow real time collaboration on document Flexible working From home, from the field, from the beach Government Grants for Faster Broadband Less Travel Time Less Travel Cost Less Energy Used…
- 12. Why is Bristol Zoo doing it? You will improve your business productivity 80% of CEOs see sustainability as a route to competitive advantage in their industry Modern technology is faster Modern technology provides more flexibility People are more productive Don’t be afraid of investing in technology – it’s the cheapest way to reduce your biggest overhead: employee time.
- 13. To summarise… It’s not just about being socially responsible, it’s good business sense. An Accenture study from 2013 found that: 80% of CEOs see sustainability as a route to competitive advantage in their industry 63% of CEOs expect sustainability to transform their industry within five years

Notes de l'éditeur
- Introduction
- Thanks to Tim for having us, Jessica & Zoe for organising. Welcome to everyone
- IT can be difficult to digest before breakfast so I’ll keep it short Why are we here? Many of you in this room have started your Go Green Action Plans, so you’ll be familiar with the Energy and Efficiency Pillar. This isn’t just a green issue It’s all about creating sustainable business making Green Business Sense. Lead to reduced costs Better working environment Minimising the resources of energy, materials and water that you use.
- It can in fact be relatively easy to be green… As we’ve heard from Matt earlier, there are compelling drivers for operating efficiency. And I think we’re already seeing that happening in many industries right here in Bristol… @Bristol – venue for the launch
- We’ve just heard from Tim Wilson about the broader drive towards sustainability at the Bristol Zoo Gardens. Consider the whole lifecycle from manufacturing to recycling. There is a lot of embedded energy in manufacturing. And a lot of rare metals and toxics These things all consume a huge amount of energy and resources Servers require about the same amount of energy to manufacture as they use while running for 1 year. And the same again to recycle. It’s not just about being socially responsible, however…
- So many ways to look at the financial benefits but ultimately the same message – it’s Cheaper go to Green And Bristol Zoo are already seeing this
- Uptime Institute, Saving licensing and maintenance of 4 times
- 60 percent of the people that make server purchasing decisions do not have access to their company’s energy bill. This is critical, as server rooms can account for anywhere from 30 to 70 percent of an organization’s electricity consumption (particularly in office-based organizations). 90 percent of organizations do not have a way of monitoring server room electrical use, opportunity is being overlooked as a strategic way to seriously reduce overhead costs and environmental impact. If you think about the office you’ll all be going on to after this breakfast – think about what’s currently using power in there. Computers switched on, hard disks spinning, fans going to keep those hard disks cool, lights, big CRT or plasma screens, monitors, air conditioning or heating? A significant proportion of your energy costs is from technology – your servers, computers, phones are all big contributors to your energy consumption, and with the proliferation of devices being brought to work by employees, it’s only going upwards. The Carbon Trust Energy Survey estimates that office equipment accounts for around 15 per cent of all the electrical energy used in UK offices. It’s an area where huge savings can be made, as they estimate that effective management of equipment can reduce its energy consumption by up to 70 per cent. (Carbon Trust Energy Survey) Many of the businesses we work with are concerned that reducing their energy consumption inevitably means reduce their capacity and performance – but this isn’t the case. It is possible to maintain performance, capacity and reliability, while keeping a lid on energy consumption. There are three key ways you can help reduce your energy consumption from technology, and as a result your costs.
- What are the worst performers? Inefficient heating and cooling Old hardware Plasma screens
- Use what you’ve got, but better - This is the obvious step – I’m sure most of you in this room are already doing this, but just in case…. There are some simple steps you can take to increase your energy efficiency, e.g. Using the power management settings on your technology – almost every type of equipment has stand-by settings, make sure they’re being used. Screens should switch off automatically, computers can be set to sleep after a certain amount of time. You can download software to help with power management (Lenovo Energy Management App, for example), but just making sure that your tech is only on when you need it can make a big difference. Turn things off! Make sure that out of office hours, only the minimum number of devices are left on, or plugged in. Make it easy for your staff by creating a checklist of things that must be off before they go home for the night, and mark with red labels the things that must be left switched on. Don’t leave chargers plugged in when you’re not charging devices as they still use a small amount of power. Work out where there are redundancies in the system and eliminate them – do you need two printers on standby all the time, or would a small one for every day use be fine, with the big colour one only being switched on when it’s required? Are there systems that you only use once in a while? Turn them off the rest of the time.
- SSDs Cost more but save time Video Conferencing and collaboration
- Historically businesses have been concerned that energy efficiency is a threat to capacity and performance. In face if you’re operating sustainably, you’ll be left behind. Don’t be put off by change – upgrading your infrastructure and moving to new ways of working can seem like a big upheaval, but it doesn’t need to be. It can all happen very smoothly, and with little or no down time. Don’t be put off by costs - capital expenditure on new technology will often pay for itself in energy savings, and helps you reduce your operational expenditure as well. Not only that, but improvements in performance, productivity and functionality can have an incredibly positive effect on your bottom line. So what’s stopping you?
