scope:

The present document details measures which may be taken to improve the energy efficiency within homes (single-tenant) by virtue of broadband deployment. Clauses 2 and 3 contain references, definitions of terms and abbreviations which relate to this part; similar information will be included in the corresponding clauses of the other parts, thus ensuring that each document can be used on a "stand-alone" basis.

Within the present document:

• clause 4 describes the nature of customer premises networks in homes (single tenant), defines the interfaces to those networks and identifies the standardization bodies working on the design and installation of those networks;

• clause 5 describes the strategies that may be employed within homes (single tenant) to both increase the energy efficiency of installed information technology equipment and to use the facilities offered by information technology services to reduce overall energy consumption.

This will enable the proper implementation of services, applications and content on an energy efficient infrastructure, though it is not the goal of this multi-part deliverable to provide detailed standardized solutions for home broadband network architecture.
