Description (excerpt):
In their current state, network‑enabled devices carry an inherent paradox. They have enormous potential to deliver diverse efficiencies across many sectors and services, yet they fall far short of their own potential to be energy efficient. Technical solutions to reduce the energy cost of connectivity exist but policies are needed to drive their implementation. This publication lays the foundation for optimising the benefits of a digitalised society while substantially reducing the associated energy footprint. The vision of low‑power networked homes and offices aims to ensure that “energy efficient” is a core characteristic of “smart”.
