Title Investigating the impact of policy on energy consumption in the Energy Data Centre
Contributors
Abstract The Energy Research Unit within the Technology Department provides the Energy Data Centre (EDC). The EDC is funded by the intra-research council Energy programme and is part of the wider UK Energy Research Centre (https://ukerc.ac.uk). The UK Energy Research Centre aims to provide “Independent whole systems research for a sustainable energy future”. The research addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to a net-zero energy system. The EDC holds research data and information on publications and projects related to academic energy research. Its remit is to be the long-term preservation repository for this data. There is growing interest in quantifying the environmental impact of services which hold digital objects for the long-term and the EDC undertook a short project funded by the internal STFC Environmental Sustainability Concept Fund to assess our own environmental impact and establish changes to working practices to minimise this. The policies and procedures for the service set the environment in which it operates, determining what is collected, how it is accessed, quality assurance procedures and how the service itself is maintained. This project aimed to review the policies in place and establish how the aspirations for the service may impact on the energy consumed.
