Bay Area CIO/IT Executives Meetups: Blog

There are people who talk about Green IT, Sustainable IT, etc.. and there are people who DO it.  Joyce Dickerson is the one who DOES green - green IT, green facilities, sustainbale environments.

She is the one who takes all the tools and gadgets and measures before and after electricity consumptions, puts together sophisticated data analysis spreadsheets and educates people on what works, what doesn’t.

Here is a quote from Michele [to Joyce], who attended this meetup:

“… Your talk was great yesterday. I love your hands on approach - going around with your meter and actually measuring! I think there’s an organizational development business case to be written just about how you are trying to implement across the various parts of Stanford and how their area of study informs their decisions. I learned a lot - thank you. “

I am posting powerpoint slides now and will be adding video recording and photos later.

And here is the video:

“The Environment and Sustainability” is one of Stanford’s top initiatives, and reducing our own green house gas emissions is an important element of Stanford’s mission. With Computing and IT equipment using nearly 15% of the campus’ annual electricity needs, focusing on Sustainable IT is an important path to reducing overall green house gas emissions.



Joyce Dickerson, Director of Sustainable IT, will share how Stanford has framed these efforts, what specific projects it is embarking on, and how it calculates green house gas reductions and payback for each initiative it deploys.
