GeSI and the EE-IOCG’s Standardisation Branch, have joined forces to combine and strengthen their individual efforts on developing common industry standards for energy efficiency ratings.
The mission of the EE-IOCG is to define high level strategic actions focused on energy efficiency and general sustainability towards standardisation bodies and vendors. This accelerates the introduction of ICT practices and services addressing global sustainability.
The Standardisation Branch and GeSI work in collaboration with other groups within the ICT sector to promote stakeholder engagement. The new GESI/EE-IOCG Standardisation Branch now includes global representatives from 21 Telecom Operators.
The Standardisation Branch consists of 3 groups:
- Standardisation Policy
- Technical
- The Board
The Standardisation Policy group determines the critical areas and sub-areas to be studied by the Technical Group. They also assign Branch positions and produce strategic papers on SDOs/Forum deliverables.
The Technical group oversees the technical strategic studies. They oversee strategy on development of standards for the Standardisation Policy group’s review and decision making process.
EE-IOCG believes standardisation produces:
- Early availability
- Quality
- Interoperability
- Reduced cost
EE- IOCG has developed the Standardisation Landscape document (XLS, 514Kb) that will enable setting up effective strategies and actions towards the different SDOs. Energy Efficiency Standardisation’s numerous subdivisions have caused fragmented results and delayed availability in the past but with this new tool, customers can save money, time, and effort by clarification of:
- What has been completed
- What remains in development
- Any collusion
-
What is missing entirely
