Model - Ken
The aim of this tasks is to use the modelling4all website to create library of micro-behaviours and a guide relating to IT and the environment. The purpose of the guide is to help people better understand the the impact IT has on the environment by constructing computer models.
- Define scope
- Create library of micro-behaviours
- Design on-line guide for both online-only and f2f teaching/learning
- Offer f2f course
Ideas
Set up bIT campaign prediction market: http://markets.nitle.org/

- Strategy paper for OUCS e.g. 10 things OUCS should do next in relation to green IT: set up carbon accounting (paper, travel, electricity, gas, data centre, offices), offer workshops?, report publicly in real time, computer modelling,
- Compete with OUCE with monitoring service
- Contact JISC about getting a message to VCs
- Could do a security-like review of energy efficiency IT e.g. a checklist
- Good tool for understanding personal contribution to global effort on climate change
- National service:
- hosted by UKERNA or IBM
- hosted by Oxford with an annual subscription based on number of gateways, any profit for which goes into the sustainability fund
