I’m sure that some of you remember Jini, an initiative launched in 1998 by Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems. This software was supposed to turn all the devices we use into ‘network citizens,’ as Joy said. It never really worked. And even if the electronic devices we own are increasingly network compatible, they still are unable to work together intelligently. This is why the European Union has funded a project to allow your fridge or your TV to communicate with your phone or your PC. This project, named Amigo, will end in February 2008 and was granted €13 millions by the EU. This project enrolled powerful partners such as France Telecom, Microsoft or Philips which pay the rest of the bill, expected to reach €23 millions.

US Energy Secretary Steven Chu has signed an agreement between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Chinese Ministry of Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) to join forces on energy efficient buildings. Nearly half of the world's new floorspace built every year is in China and, over the next 15 years, the country is expected to construct the equivalent of the entire US building stock.

About 63 percent of Indian IT shops have completed a retrofit of existing server rooms to increase energy efficiency, or have a pilot project underway, according to a recent study. It's similar in Brazil, but IT companies there tend to favor building new server rooms before modifying existing ones.

Information technology may not be the much-maligned energy guzzler but the key to more efficient technologies, according to a report from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). The basis of IT, semiconductor technology, is central to energy efficiency improvements that could allow the US economy to grow by more than 70% between now and 2030 while reducing electricity use by 11%.
