Youngman, Richard2013-03-122013-03-122012https://hdl.handle.net/10986/12685The report is focused on showing a wide range and variety of ways in which Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) solutions could play a transformative role, and so the bulk of the report provides case studies of actual examples of ICT solutions already developed and in action to enable energy efficiency in three particular areas, namely, smart logistics, smart grid/smart metering, and smart buildings. Ultimately, in line with the WBG's charter, this study is concerned with the question of how ICT can play a transformative role in developing countries'climate-smart future. However, as the World Development Report 2010 recognized, this is bound to start in higher-income countries, which have the incentives (being high-energy and high-cost users), the technical know-how and the resources to innovate and implement pioneering solutions to cut their costs and their carbon emissions. Some such solutions will have applicability to the developing world; a minority right away, more year by year as technology is proven and efficiencies of scale kick in. The report concludes with some thoughts, drawn out of these case studies, on the trajectory of ICT in energy efficiency in the world generally, but especially within the focus areas of logistics, the grid and buildings, and on what these case studies might mean for developing countries and their priorities in terms of energy efficiency.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS CONTROLSACCOUNTING SOFTWAREAIR LEAKAGEAMOUNT OF POWERANALOGANIMATIONAPPLIANCESAPPLICATION OF INFORMATIONATMAUTOMATIONAVAILABILITYBACKBONEBACKUPBACKUP POWERBALANCEBASICBATTERIESBEST PRACTICESBIO-ENERGYBUILDING AUTOMATIONBUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEMSBUILDING ENERGY USEBUSINESS INFORMATIONBUSINESS MODELSBUSINESS OPPORTUNITYBUSINESS PLANBUSINESS REQUIREMENTSBUSINESSESCALCULATORSCALL CENTERSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARBON EMISSIONSCASH FLOWCELL PHONESCELLPHONECENTRAL SERVERCLIMATE CHANGECOALCODESCOMMODITYCOMMUNICATION STANDARDSCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOLSCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITIESCOMPONENTSCOMPUTERSCONFIGURATIONSCONSUMER OF ENERGYCONTROL SYSTEMCONTROL SYSTEMSCONTROL UNITSCOST OF ELECTRICITYCUSTOMCUSTOMER RELATIONSCUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPCUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENTCUSTOMER REQUESTSCUSTOMER SERVICEDATA CENTERSDATA MANAGEMENTDATA PROCESSINGDATA TRANSFERDATA WAREHOUSEDELIVERY SERVICESDEVICESDIESELDIGITALDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDISTRIBUTION NETWORKSDISTRIBUTION SYSTEME-MAILEBOOKSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEFFICIENT LIGHTINGEGOVERNMENTELECTRIC GRIDELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY USAGEELECTRONICSEND USEREND-USERENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY CONVERSION EFFICIENCYENERGY COSTSENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY MANAGEMENTENERGY SAVINGSENERGY SYSTEMSENERGY USAGEENGINEERINGEQUIPMENTETAXATIONFINANCING PLANSFLUORESCENT LAMPFLUORESCENT LIGHTSFOSSILFOSSIL FUELSFUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL USEFUELSFUNCTIONALITYGAS METERSGATEWAYSGENERAL PUBLICGENERATIONGENERATION OF ELECTRICITYGLOBAL EMISSIONSGLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINSGPSGREEN ENERGYGREENHOUSE GASGRID APPLICATIONSHANDHELD COMPUTERSHARDWAREHEATHUMAN ERRORHYDROPOWERICTIMAGESINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINNOVATIONINNOVATIONSINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONSINTERFACESINTEROPERABILITYINVENTORYINVESTMENT IN ENERGY EFFICIENCYIPJOINT VENTUREKEROSENEKEROSENE SUBSIDIESKILOWATT-HOURSKIOSKSKNOW-HOWLOGISTICS PROVIDERSMAINTENANCE COSTSMANAGEMENT SOFTWAREMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMANUFACTURINGMARKET OPPORTUNITIESMARKETINGMATERIALMEDIAMOBILE PHONEMOBILE PHONESMONITORSNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS USENATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORKINGNETWORKSNEW MARKETSNEW TECHNOLOGIESOILOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYPCPEAK DEMANDPEAK LOADPHONE CONNECTIONPILOT PROJECTPILOT PROJECTSPOLLUTIONPOWER CONSUMPTIONPOWER STATIONPOWER SUPPLIESPRIMARY ENERGYPRODUCT DESIGNPRODUCT DEVELOPMENTPRODUCTION PROCESSESPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAMMINGPUREPLAYRADIORADIO FREQUENCYREAL TIMEREAL-TIME COMMUNICATIONRECHARGEABLE BATTERYREGISTRYRELIABILITYRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE SOURCESRENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGYRESULTRESULTSRETAIL STORERETAIL STORESRFIDRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONRURAL ENTREPRENEURSSATELLITESEMICONDUCTORSENSORSSERVERSERVERSSERVICE PROVIDERSSOFTWARE APPLICATIONSOFTWARE MODULESSOFTWARE SOLUTIONSOFTWARE SOLUTIONSSOLAR LANTERNSSOLAR PANELSOLAR PANELSSOLAR POWERSTANDARD FRAMEWORKSSUNLIGHTSUPERMARKETSSUPERVISIONSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTSUPPLY CHAINSTARGETSTAX INCENTIVESTECHNOLOGICAL INVESTMENTTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONSTONS OF CARBONTRACEABILITYTRANSFORMERSTRANSMISSIONUNIQUE IDSUSERSUSESUTILITIESVERIFICATIONVIDEOVOLTAGEWEBWEB INTERFACEWEB PORTALWEBSITEWINDWIRELESSWIRELESS COMMUNICATIONSWIRELESS TECHNOLOGYWORKSTATIONXMLWorld Bank10.1596/12685
