The Green IT activities aim to contribute to greenization: reduce emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 by using

IT technologies and prevent global warming. In order to achieve the goal proposed by Japan that global greenhouse gas
emissions must be reduced by half of the current level by 2050, developed countries need to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 60 to 80% relative to the current level from back then. IT is highly expected to serve as one of the solutions tothis problem.

Introduction to the Green IT Promotion Council s Activities■ Details of activities in FY2010.........................................................................................................

1．Estimation of Green IT s energy saving potential
The Green IT Promotion Council has developed computing methods to objectively indicate the eﬀects of Green IT. At the same time,in order to indicate the importance of Green IT, it was examined how much reduction can be expected in energy consumption andCO2 emissions by utilizing the of IT/ by IT products in the future.

① Energy saving of IT equipment (of IT)
The energy saving potential of following items were examined:

IT equipment

PC, Server, Storage, Router / Switch, Display

Electronic equipment

Television, Home-use recorder/player, Refrigerator, Lighting, Air conditioner

The examination reveals that in Japan, total energy consumption of the 10 products as of 2005 was about 330 billion kWh/year,
but it will increase to about 500 billion kWh/year in 2020. However, reductions of about 130 billion kWh/year (about 25% frombaseline) can be expected in 2020 as a result of technical innovation (ﬁgure below on the left). The energy consumption of the
ﬁve IT devices and televisions will increase at a high rate, and the amount will increase to 200 billion kWh/year in 2020, about
4 times the 2005 level. However, this can be expected to decrease about 70 billion kWh/year (about 35% from baseline, ﬁgure
below on the right) (ﬁgure below on the right).

2．Role of EEMS for Enterprises
Backed by the revision of the Rational Use of Energy Use Law, the standardization of ISO 50001, and compliance with energy conservation,
recently there has been a growing necessity for energy management at the level of enterprises. The Committee therefore developed thevision of Enterprise Energy Management System (EEMS) for roughly ﬁve years in the future. The study was conducted in FY2009 andFY2010 and focused on the system techniques to develop energy-related services that will be needed by enterprises.
The Committee discussed about following four points with an emphasis on informatization of energy such as visualization:① Three requirements for developing EEMS
（1）Infrastructure should meet the needs of enterprises.
Various applications will be developed to meet the energy-related needs of enterprises. They should be able to respond to various
services of enterprises.
（2）Optimization should not be performed in limited areas.
Optimization of enterprises should not be conduced based only on area-based management. In order to achieve energy eﬃciency
improvements, areas of optimization should be selected depending on the situation even if several areas need to be optimized.
（3）Four perspectives should be considered in visualization.
It is important for EEMS to be able to respond to following four perspectives of the people and the authorities that are connected toenterprises in various ways:

Outside stakeholder

Providing the appropriate information to Stock holders,Customers, Control authorities that monitor
compliance with energy saving laws

Manager

EEMS should help to manage the energy consumption as a part of business policies, because
implementation of energy saving measures will be more emphasized in the future.

Employee

Visualization of energy consumption should be easy to understand for general employees. EEMS should be
able to operate easily.

Energy manager

EEMS should be able to provide various analysis methods to perform advanced optimization of energy consumption.

② Application of EEMSEEMS can be applied and utilized for various purposes in addition to rationalization of energy consumption. The application of EEMS should
not be performed only to improve energy eﬃciency in production activities, but also to control emissions of greenhouse gases such as
CO2. EEMS is expected to meet following needs:• Optimize energy consumption for enterprises as a whole• Support the compliance with laws and regulations that are related to global warming• Support the responses to ISO14001, ISO50001, carbon footprints and the Domestic Clean Development Mechanism• Support Renewable Energy Certiﬁcates and Emission Trading when renewable energy such as photovoltaics is utilized

Framework④ Important points when applying EEMS
Based on the examination results for the EEMS framework and architecture, the GIPC compiled the following four important
points for when applying EEMS.
・ What are good KPIs?
・ What sort of visualization will incite motivation?
・ What are services that are geared towards disseminating EEMS?
・ Arrange the roles for and vested interests with EEMS

Please refer to the GIPC s webpage at <http://www.greenit-pc.jp/> or the FY2009/FY2010 Technology Study Committee of
GIPC Reports for the details. These reports introduce several related case examples of initiatives, while also deﬁning technology
for assessing the eﬃciency of electricity consumption as of IT energy saving technology and reporting on its placement andtrends.

3．Development of Datacenter Performance Per Energy (DPPE)The Green IT Promotion Council has developed a new metric called DPPE to determine the energy eﬃciency of a datacenter. The
US and Europe share the same vision as Japan, and the discussion is still going.

① Why have datacenters been focused?
Rapid increase of energy consumption is expected in datacenters because of the increasing number of the internet mobile users
and improvement of server quality that requires large energy. This is why the energy saving of datacenters has been focused.

② What is DPPE? What is the necessity?
Right now, the most widely used metric to indicate datacenter energy eﬃciency is Power Usage Eﬀectiveness (PUE) developedby the Green Grid. However, in order to improve energy consumption of a datacenter as a whole, a new metric that indicatesenergy consumption of IT equipment and infrastructure needs to be developed. DPPE (Datacenter Performance per Energy),
was developed as a new metric that reﬂects every component of a datacenter.
Following points were emphasized in the process of the development:<Important points in the development of a new metric>• Its measurement and computation should be easy
• Comparison of data among diﬀerent datacenters should be possible• Continuance comparison of the energy saving status should be possible throughout the year

008 Green IT Best Practices Collection 2011

③ Deﬁned DPPE sub-metrics and the computation
The starting point of the study is the new formula: DPPE = (Production volume of the data center) / (Power consumption). The
metric should be linked to the eﬀects of energy saving measures in the datacenter. Sub-metrics and their formulas were deﬁned
based on energy saving activities of datacenters. These four sub-metrics can be used independently.

DPPE Sub-metrics
ITEU（IT Equipment Utilization）

FormulaResponding activities＝ Operational Utilization of IT Equipment of data center Eﬀective operation of ITequipment

to not only boost facility efficiency, but also to improve theenergy eﬃciency of IT devices, use green energy, and so on.
Since each of these can be improved independently, a holistic

framework to address all these aspects is required.
In addition, the measurements in Vietnam and Singapore
proved that DPPE is available at datacenters overseas.

⑤ Agreement on new metrics of datacenter energy eﬃciency
The Green IT Promotion Council presented DPPE as a new metric at the workshop. Japan, the US and Europe set the direction forfurther development, of new metrics and decided to continuously hold discussions.

4．Promotion of Japanese Green IT products to other Asian countries① Operation of energy survey projects for IT based energy saving
In Asian countries, energy consumption is increasing as a result of the economic growth.
Promoting energy saving in these areas is very important to conduct activities against global warming. IT-based energy saving (GreenIT) will be able to address the rapid increase in energy consumption.
Therefore, The Green IT Promotion Council and the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA)
operated energy survey projects to promote energy saving utilizing IT in Asian industry by introducing Japanese IT-based energysaving technologies and products.
In the survey projects, experts of energy saving were sent to datacenters, public facilities, plants, and factories of Asian countries andconducted surveys. The experts estimated improvement eﬀects in the future, and energy saving plans were presented to achieveenergy saving utilizing the most sophisticated IT of Japan.

Conducting energy saving survey project in Asia

■ Aiming to disseminate Japanese energy saving technology
Asian countries constitute a region where energy consumption is surging along with rapid economic growth.
Surging energy consumption in such regions is an important issue when it comes to advancing countermeasures to the
problem of global warming, and it is believed that IT-based energy saving (Green IT) can make a signiﬁcant contribution in thisregard.
As a project delegated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the GIPC (Green IT Promotion Council) implemented
surveys for the realization of IT-based energy saving for the industries in this region. The aim was to promote energy saving
through the introduction and adoption of solutions via Japanese latest IT-based energy saving technologies and products.
Experts in energy saving were deployed to places like data centers, buildings and public facilities, and plants and factories
where they performed surveys on various types of equipment, drafted optimization plans, and predicted the improvement
results with a view toward realizing energy saving through the use of the latest IT of Japan.
Here we will introduce the following four main activities of the projects from FY2010.
1. Deploying energy saving survey missions
2. Training in Japan
3. The Best Practices Collection
4. Asia Green IT seminars

1. Deploying Energy Saving Survey Mission
GIPC implemented Green IT energy saving survey on industries in Asian countries with the goal of introducing them andhaving them adopt solutions by Japanese latest IT-based energy saving technologies and products.
After evaluating quantitatively the potential for reducing energy consumption through IT of the data centers, buildings
and public facilities, and plants and factories where progress with energy saving measures has not necessarily been
made in Asian countries, the missions diagnosed whether or not it would be possible to implement solutions that use
energy saving technologies and products based on the latest IT from Japan.
The number of surveys doubled from four locations (surveyed by 4 companies in Japan) in two countries in FY2009 to
focus on a total of eight locations (surveyed by 8 companies in Japan) in four countries in FY2010, including two data
centers (Vietnam and Singapore), four buildings and public facilities (India, Singapore, and two in China), and two plants
and factories (Vietnam and China) (see tables on pages 27 - 30).
The energy saving potentials obtained from the surveys have been compiled into a table (see the table on page 31).

・ Exchange of the opinions and holding various lectures concerning saving energy, etc.
【Objectives】

・ To deepen the understanding of local companies undergoing the surveys towards saving energy
and provide support enabling them to undertake sustainable initiatives
・ To deepen mutual understanding of energy saving initiatives in Japan and the initiatives in Asian
countries and contribute to strengthening cooperation between local companies and Japanesecompanies in the future

3. The Best Practices Collection
Companies that are regular members of GIPC collect together the latest Green IT devices and solutions
recommended by each company and compile them into the Green IT Best Practices Collection (Japanese edition andEnglish edition). This is then distributed to Asian countries and other countries overseas in order to widely introduce
Japanese energy saving products and solutions to Asian countries.
In addition to the list of energy saving products and solutions presented by eachcompany that was included in FY2009, we added case examples of actually introducing
these in FY2010 with the aim of aiding the reader s understanding.
We received numerous opinions highly evaluating this in its capacity as a material for
introducing people about Japanese latest technology at the local surveyed facilities towhich it was distributed, as well as at workshops and seminars.
Furthermore, we also created and unveiled a Best Practices Collection website
which allows people to search by information like the company name, category, andkeywords.

FUJITSU LIMITED
Hokuriku Bank Ltd.
Creating an Environmentally Friendly System to Reduce CO2 by about 40% Through Client Virtualization
The Hokuriku Bank Ltd., has built its In-bank Intranet System as the foundation of its e-mail and billboard functions. It was originally a system thatgathered data stored in servers installed in its branches and integrated these data in storage at its headquarter's Administrative System Center, thenbuilt a 1,500 unit virtual PC environment using desk-top virtualization software.

Point

Point

Point

Achieving eﬃcient system operation and maintenance by center integration
Data in servers installed at all branches were integrated in ETERNUS, a three unit storage system at the Administrative System Center.
This eliminated past diﬀerences in the usage rates at diﬀerent branches.

Flexible system which ensures highly safe security based on the virtual PC method
Applying the desktop virtualization software, VMware View, to build an integrated virtual desktop environment which has
integrated operating environments such as the OS, applications etc. for PCs inside servers

Contributing to environmental operation
It will reduce CO2 emissions by about 40% from the existing level by integrating servers and adopting Fujitsu s Super Green
Product, the Blade Server called PRIMERGY BX620, etc.

■ Because it is a bank which represents Hokuriku,
it wants to lead the region in kindness to theenvironment.
Living in Harmony with the Region ‒ can be deﬁned as the essenceof a ﬁnancial institution with close ties with its surrounding society. The
Hokuriku Bank supports the regional economy and regional society
by actively undertaking activities to benefit the environment andsociety, primarily through its contribution to the region made throughits principal business. Introducing and upgrading banking businesssystems is not only intended to achieve greater eﬃciency, it is driven
by a desire to improve customer services, develop the region, andpreserve the environment.

■ It controls environment loads by eﬃciently
apportioning the PC power needed by branches
which require PC power.
When the in-bank intranet system was built 10 years ago, eﬀorts weremade to ensure an advanced security environment along with eﬃcient
operation by, for example, storing administrative data in ﬁle servers
installed in each branch instead of in individual PC terminals (personal
computers).
But differences in the frequency of use of file servers between
branches became a particularly serious problem. Skillfully sharing
distributed power can control the load on the environment, beginning
the study of integration and virtualization.

■ To reduce environmental loads and achieve asystem providing a high degree of satisfaction
An in-bank system which is used for general administrative work at

036 Green IT Best Practices Collection 2011

head oﬃce and branches: information sharing and a variety tools suchas Word, Excel, E-mail, Groupware, billboards, etc. This upgrading
integrates a vast number of servers already installed at eachbranch at the Administrative System Center at the same time as it
introduces Fujitsu s Green ICT technology. Virtual desktops (operating
environment including the PC s OS and applications) are prepared on
the server at the Administrative System Center, so bank employees
can apportion them as necessary by accessing them from individual
PCs. This offsets differences in the frequency of use, which was a
problem, transforming it into a system which the entire bank can use
eﬃciently.

■ Using ICT achieves great eﬀects; a 40%
reduction of CO2 emissions!
A characteristic of this case is that it reduces energy by integrating
servers, but the point which must be understood is that in fact, inorder to lower the quantity of heat generated through the use of ICT
equipment, air conditioning installed along with this equipment uses
electric power. Shortages of electric power have become a concern
this summer. The public is counting increasingly on the electric power
conservation effects of ICT as one of the social responsibilities ofcorporations.
And the Hokuriku Bank, has used MO as a backup for its data. The
elimination of materials (dematerialization) achieved by ending theneed for MO plus the reduction of CO2 emitted during movement(transportation) of these materials and of the energy required by the
space where they were stored are numerically evaluated.
Taking small media as an example, its use is a cause of environmental
impact in a variety of forms.

All each parts of the IT equipment inside work by direct current. Then, a new system that assumes "Storage of electricity" to be a base can beconstructed by changing the supplied electricity from alternating current into direct current. It is to use a natural energy and the late-night electricity ina good balance to secure stable electricity with low cost.

■ Usage/ﬁeld
It is substitution of network equipment (router, DNS, etc.). A main server (an email, a search etc.) of
the Internet and construction of the dispersion system of the scale outs type such as Hadoop.

■ Use conditions
Power supply:AC100/200V or DC9-29V, Power consumption:Average 50W(Max. 70W), Spport
OS:Linux,Windows■ Features

Energy-saving eﬀect

As for trybrid power supply, IT equipment and facilities work by direct current. And "storage ofelectricity" is a base. The supply electric power is a new idea that eﬀectively uses three kinds ofdiﬀerent power supplies. 1). Natural energy (solar battery and fuel cell, etc.). 2). Commercial powersource. 3). Battery. A server corresponding to this new power supply speciﬁcations is NX130.
The feature is as follows. 1). Main body operates by 50W on the average in the size of 1U half
depth. It low electric power of 1/2-1/4 of general server. 2). It can treat a server like a note PC
by connecting battery to a server. 3). It is manufactured with development in an industry productstandard. Therefore even a high temperature of 50 degrees Celsius can work consecutively, andthe operation that does not use air conditioning is possible.

The trybrid power supply makes "Storage of electricity" a base. Natural energy becomes possible
to operate by combining with accumulation of electricity because the change of power generationis large it. Next, the battery operation becomes possible because it reduces the electric powerof the IT equipment and equipment to 1/2-1/4 of the general servers because the battery is not
inﬁnite capacity. Reduction of this electricity pushes forward energy saving more. Operation at
50 50 degrees Celsius becomes possible because the IT equipment is developed by the industrial
goods computer speciﬁcation and manufactured by it. And, the electric power consumed by airconditioning can be adjusted to almost 0.

Energy-saving eﬀect

The container data center of the ISO standard that became the first domestically was newly
developed. The feature is as follows. 1). It is possible to move easily by the container trailer
because of the ISO standard. The removal is also easy though carrying is easy. This easiness
is important at the time of the disaster. 2). It fixed strongly to the top and bottom of 19-inchrack in addition to strong skeleton structure of the ISO container had, strong earthquake-proof
performance was achieved. 3). Outdoor setting under wide environment from -20 degrees Celsius
to 40 degrees Celsius is possible. And, if there are a power supply and an optical cable, the placeis not chosen and the data center can be constructed in a short term (about three months). 4).
Data center can be constructed even in the place without the commercial power source's supply
for the trybrid power supply.
With energy saving top priority, the ISO container was developed. Key factor is "cooling by theindirect open air" of the new development. This is a new method that discharges the heat of theIT equipment into air with a special heat exchange panel, and returns only the cold internally. It isa cooling method to use open air for, but, as for the open air, an IT equipment does not have theinﬂuence without passing the IT equipment inside. The area of one piece of special heat exchange
panel has a heat exchange area of 2,300 square meters at 80cm × 50cm. The cooling capacityof maximum about 80kW is obtained by using this 32. Furthermore, I realize PUE=1.1 through one
year by putting the NX130 server which I developed for these containers together.

2.Inverter power loss can be reduced through use of low-loss CSTBT chips.
3.Enhanced heat protection based on monitoring the temperature of each IGBT chip.
4.Increased output volume for inverter and servo systems through a larger IPM product line-up.
5.Compatibility with the V Series (previous product) enables easy replacement and improvesuser convenience. In addition, the size of inverter and servo systems can be reduced while
increasing output volume.
*CSTBT™: carrier-stored trench gate bipolar transistors developed by Mitsubishi Electric. CSTBT
is a trademark of Mitsubishi Electric.

Inverters are used to drive and control industrial machinery. Highly eﬃcient energy consumption
is realized in these products through tuning the power frequency in inverters according to theelectricity load. To achieve this high efficiency IPMs are required and there is thus a growing
demand for IPMs. Our new 600V/800A IPMs realize approximately 15% less inverter power loss
compared to conventional products, contributing to further energy savings.

This system selects the elevator in a group that best balances operational eﬃciency and energy
consumption. Priority is given to operational eﬃciency during peak hours and energy eﬃciency
during non-peak hours.
Car allocation that maximizes operational efficiency does not necessarily translate to energy
eﬃciency. A car uses energy eﬃciently when it travels down with a heavy load, or up with a lightload. Accordingly, if multiple cars have the same traveling distance, this system chooses the carthat requires the least energy.

FlowDesigner
Mitsubishi Electric Information Network Corporation.........................................................................................................

This tool enables the user to study energy savings by calculating airﬂow, temperature, humidity, and contamination level through airﬂow analysis; byimproving the warm environments of oﬃce, plant, store, atrium, electric room, server room, and data center; and by ﬁnding out the optimal value of the
air conditioning set temperature.

■ Usage/ﬁeld
A tool that adapts to the following- Studying warm environments, air conditioning and ventilation of general houses, condos, stores, plants, etc.
- Dust analysis at time of clean room designing and ventilation/thermal design inside machinery/equipment- Studying energy savings of server rooms, data centers, and electric rooms and studying improvement ofwarm environments- Studying problems of outdoor wind and exhaust heat from outdoor units■ Use conditions
Used with a PC running on Windows XP, Windows VISTA, Windows 7(CPU: 2GHz or more and RAM: 2GB or
more recommended)■ Features

The reduction in power consumption at data centers and large server rooms where powerconsuming IT equipment are concentrated will lead to substantial energy saving, which is ameasure to promote green IT. To ﬁnd out measures to identify the status and to solve a speciﬁc
problem through simulation, it is important to select a tool that minimizes the time required forthe simulation. FlowDesigner enables the user to find out the optimal improvement measureby shortening the analysis time and analyzing more parameters. Specifically, FlowDesigner
proposes energy saving by performing analysis of a countermeasure to remove the heat pool anddemonstrating that raising the set temperature of the air conditioner will cause no problem on thebasis of a basic model that reproduces the existing warm environment.

Energy-saving eﬀect

The major features of FlowDesigner are that its basic functions, which are in high demand, are easy to use,and
it is capable of performing high-speed stable calculations by adding a few limits such as calculating only forincompressible ﬂ uids as opposed to the conventional software for researchers. As a result, the analysis andcalculation operations, which previously required much time, were substantially faster.
This leads to the streamlining of design.
In October 2010, it will be evolved into the more advanced FlowDesigner 8 that will enable the user to create
complex models more easily and be more useful as it will be equipped with a function for converting models toparts.
The enterprise version will be equipped with a reverse-analysis function, and it is also expected to produce an
unexpected result related to air-conditioner operating conditions for energy-saving proposal.
