The Standards of the IEEE Iniciative is a part of the iniciative that can be found in its online portal. The creation of the standards started in 2015 and considering it's a neutral and fast-moving initiative, the objective was to generate standards to achieve real and concrete environmental impacts through ICT.
In 2016, 9 PARs (Project Authorization Requests) were created and then worked in Work Groups (WG) to create the 9 standards. The 9 PARs are:
- PAR 1: Standard for a method for calculating anticipated emissions caused by virtual machine migration and placement
- PAR 2: Standard for a method to calculate near real-time emissions of information and communication technology infrastructure
- PAR 3: Standard for computation of energy efficiency upper bound for apparatus processing communication signal waveforms
- PAR 4: Recommended practice for developing energy efficient power-proportional digital architectures
- PAR 5: Standard for Energy Efficient Dynamic Line Rate Transmission System
- PAR 6: Standard for a Functional Architecture of Distributed Energy Efficient Big Data Processing
- PAR 7: Standard for Services Provided by the Energy-efficient Orchestration and Management of Virtualized Distributed Data Centers Interconnected by a Virtualized Network
- PAR 8: Standard for a Mechanism for Energy Efficient Virtual Machine Placement
- PAR 9: An Architectural Framework for Energy Efficient Content Distribution
The latest publication in the website shows new standard for electricity emissions calculation has been developed:
