Environmental design considerations for ICT
Contents
1. The designer shall consider using low power components and or design options as well as efficient power supply components to reduce the energy consumption in the on modes NOTE 1 The reason for the above is that less efficient designs result in higher heat dissipation in the system which leads to increased cooling requirements By improving the energy efficiency of these designs in the on mode it may become possible to apply passive cooling thereby avoiding the use of fans and the resulting additional energy consumption NOTE2 Energy efficiency improvements typically reduce costs and noise and improve serviceability identified modes see 6 3 2 when specifying the power supply The AC DC conversion efficiency should be high in the most used modes for example by applying voluntary programs and agreements as described in 6 3 7 EXAMPLE 4 For typical personal computers in office use the on idle mode might represent a substantial percentage of the on mode consumption and thus the conversion efficiency for this mode should be high However in many personal computers the power supply loading is low in the on idle mode and hence often the conversion efficiency is low NOTES Another reason for a low loading and therefore reduced power supply efficiency is the inherent extendibility of a system such as a personal computer As such the designer should balance extendibility vs energy consumption the true specification needs for2. More technically it is the minimum quantity of energy required to deliver a functional output from a device The energy used by a product from the mains power source over a given period of time is measured in kWh NOTE A more precise definition is not applicable in this context as the output performance largely depends on the specific device EXAMPLE For power supplies the energy efficiency is defined as the percentage of output power per input power 4 6 environment surroundings in which an organization operates including air water land natural resources flora fauna humans and their interrelation ISO 14001 2004 definition 3 5 4 7 environmental aspect element of an organization s activities products or services that can interact with the environment ISO 14001 2004 definition 3 6 NOTE A significant environmental aspect is one that has or can have a significant environmental impact ISO 14001 2004 definition 3 7 4 8 environmental impact any change to the environment whether adverse or beneficial wholly or partially resulting from an organization s environmental aspects ISO 14001 2004 definition 3 7 4 9 environmental management system part of the overall management system that includes organizational structure planning activities responsibilities practices procedure processes and resources for developing implementing achieving reviewing and maintaining the environmental policy ISO 14001

Yes No Not applicable NOTE The declared A weighted sound power level Lwaa according to ISO 9296 is a statistical maximum value to account for sound power variations between products and lab to lab measured sound power level variations and Lwag is typically about 0 3 0 4 bels 3 dB 4 dB greater than the average A weighted sound power level Lwa measured according to ISO 7779 ISO 3741 ISO 3744 or ISO 3745 ISO 9296 or ECMA 109 specifies how to determine and verify Lwaa A 6 2 4 Declared noise emission values according to ISO 9296 ECMA 109 are available in the appropriate product documentation Yes No Not applicable A 6 2 5 For the declared sound pressure level Lpam values whether the value is for the operator position or bystander positions is indicated in the appropriate product documentation with the declared levels Furthermore if Lpam is measured for the operator position then the documentation shall indicate whether the unit is table top or floor standing For products not covered by ISO 7779 the distance used to measure Lpam shall be indicated Yes No Not applicable 24 Ecma International 2010 cecma NOTE The usage of a particular product determines which positions are appropriate For example for a personal computer the operator position is always the defined sound pressure level position similarly for a server bystander positions are the defined positions A 7
