scope:

The present document specifies the requirements for a Global KPI for carbon management in operation (KPI_DCCM) and their underpinning Objective KPIs addressing the following objectives for the ICT sites of broadband deployment:

• Greenhouse gas emissions

• Effectiveness of energy generation over greenhouse gas emissions

• Avoided greenhouse gas emission

• Reused greenhouse gas emission

The management of energy efficiency is outside the scope of the present document.

Within the present document:

• clause 4.1 describes the energy parameters for ICT sites together with inclusions/exclusions of different energies contributions;

• clause 4.2 specifies the requirements for measurement, calculation, classification and reporting of KPI_DCCM.

The present document addresses CO₂ equivalent emissions (CO₂eq) resulting from energy consumption by operational equipment in ICT sites or groups of sites. It does not deal with other GHG gas emissions coming from cooling/heating (including heat recovery systems equipment leakages such as described in the Directive F-Gas EU-517-2014 [i.6] and emissions related to manufacturing, transportation and end of life.

The Global KPI alone is not designed for comparison of ICT sites or groups of sites. It does not define an ICT site as good or bad unless combined with other parameters considered relevant for a comparison, such as local climatic conditions, availability requirements or purpose of the ICT site.

The present document relies on energy measurement and task effectiveness principles defined in standards ETSI EN 305 200-3-1 [3] for data centres, ETSI EN 305 200-2-2 [1] for fixed networks and ETSI EN 305 200-2-3 [2] for mobile networks.
