CDA Voluntary Principles for Energy Efficient Connected Devices
The CDA Voluntary Principles for Energy Efficient Connected Devices were developed by the G20 Networked Devices Task Group, consisting of industry and government representatives. The Principles have two focuses:
- The CDA Voluntary Design Principles provide guidance on the key features of energy efficient connected devices, networks and communications protocols – for use by designers, manufacturers and protocols authors
- The CDA Policy Principles encourage a common global framework for the development of government policies and measures – for use by policy makers
Supporting the CDA Voluntary Principles for Energy Efficient Connected Devices
The CDA encourages leading device manufacturers, trade associations and government agencies to support the CDA Voluntary Principles for Energy Efficient Connected Devices. As the number of connected devices expands rapidly, these Principles provide an energy efficiency blueprint for designers of products, protocols and policies. They have been developed to ensure that the high standards achieved for energy efficiency through technology advances continue in the new age of connected devices.
