GeSI is working with others to develop common industry standards for energy efficiency ratings. The Energy Efficiency Inter Operators Collaboration Group (EE-IOCG) Standardization Branch, which was working separately on this issue, has now become part of GeSI to combine and strengthen our individual efforts in this area.

The mission of the EE IOCG is to define a towards standardization bodies and vendors, in order to speed up the introduction set of high level strategic actions and coordinated guidance focused on energy efficiency and general sustainability, to be applied of ICT practices and services to address global sustainability. The Standardisation Branch collaborates with the GeSI and other groups within the ICT sector in order to obtain, from the different bodies, organizational support and stakeholder engagement.

The Branch is formed by three groups:

• the Board
• the Standardisation Policy Group (to manage the Branch)
• the Technical Group.

Standardisation Policy Group: is in charge of the definition of the critical sub-areas to be studied by the Technical Group, decision making (accepting/refusing) about the Technical Group positions and strategic papers on SDOs/Forum deliverables (norms and specifications). Each representative has the power to delegate a substitute person from his company in case of absence.

Technical Group: is the group in charge of the technical strategic study on a specific area, sub-area or element. It executes technical elements definition by sub-area, action point’s creation for each element of the critical sub-areas and generation of deliverables containing strategies on development of standards to be taken into account by the Standardisation Policy Group for decision making process.
