ICT Case Studies & Report

Case Studies

In September 2012, the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) released a report, Leading by Example: Using Information and Communication Technologies to Achieve Federal Sustainability Goals [1], presenting eight case studies of federal agencies using smarter technologies to use less energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while at the same time cutting costs and enhancing productivity.

The eight case studies in the report are:

GSA's Prototype Alternative Workspace: Redesigning the Federal Workplace for the 21st Century [2]
Sustainability Base: Channeling NASA's Expertise to Create a High-Performance Building Here on Earth [3]
Defense Connect Online: Advancing Sustainability through Enhanced Collaboration and Communication Tools [4]
Shift to the Cloud: Achieving Efficiency through Cloud Computing and Data Center Consolidation [5]
Fleet Management at the Smithsonian: Using New Tools to Advance Sustainability and Efficiency [6]
Testing New Building Technologies at DoD and GSA: Advancing Energy-Saving Innovations [7]
Energy Savings at Sector San Juan: The Coast Guard's Innovative Shift to Clean Energy in Puerto Rico [8]
GSA's Print Management Initiatives: Cutting Costs and Saving Energy Through Smarter Printing [9]

Report

A forthcoming report will draw extensively from these case studies, broadly discuss activities across the federal government, and makes the case for ICT enabled solutions delivering substantial sustainability and cost saving benefits.
