New EDNA report examines the ability of ‘flexibility platforms’ to unlock demand flexibility from appliances in the household and commercial sectors. Download here.

EDNA has published 2 new reports on data centres: Data Centre Energy Efficiency Labels and Public Data on Data Centre Energy Use.

This report focusses on cybersecurity threats in relation to demand flexible networked appliances.  It investigates current efforts to address these, and summarises the issues that policy makers should be aware of in relation to minimising cybersecurity risks.

EDNA has published 3 new policy briefs: Turning dumb appliances into smart appliances Appliance interoperability Energy efficiency policies for data centres These can be downloaded from the EDNA publications page.

This new policy brief summarises the EDNA Guide to Energy Management Protocols, which is a resource for policy makers.

This webinar provided policymakers with information and evidence-based recommendations for policy measures to improve the energy efficiency of data centres.

Over the past decade, EDNA has provided policy guidance aimed at improving the efficiency of smart devices and associated systems. In recent years EDNA has done a lot of work in the area of ‘demand flexible’ devices.

Since 2014 EDNA – the Electronic Devices and Networks Annex of 4E – has helped its 14 member countries to better understand digital technologies. Our extensive research into how policies can both encourage ‘energy smart digital devices’, and minimise the additional energy used to connect devices to the internet, has resulted in more than 60 publications.

29 Nov 2022 14:00—15:00 Paris Time EDNA and the IEA’s Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative are co-organising this webinar on the topic of interoperability of household appliances and equipment. The webinar will draw on the

The International Energy Agency Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative and IEA-4E/EDNA are pleased to invite you to the expert webinar: Blockchain applications: an energy perspective The webinar will be held via Zoom on Tuesday 12 April

EDNA has published a policy brief which summarises the key findings of a report titled Blockchain Energy Consumption – An Exploratory Study.  The report was commissioned by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy and contains a detailed analysis of blockchain,

EDNA has published a new policy brief, which provides policy makers with considerations for improving the energy efficiency of small network equipment, such as modems, routers, network extenders, etc.  Download here.

4E EDNA and the Users TCP have published a joint report which examines the extent to which ‘usability issues’ at set up and operation prevent smart devices from effectively delivering energy demand flexibility and intelligent efficiency.

EDNA has published a new report which develops and outlines the concept of  an ‘idle metric’ for data centres and servers, which  can be used by policy makers. The advantage of these metrics is that they do

EDNA has published 3 new policy briefs on the topic of digitalisation: Policy Guidance for Energy Smart Digital Devices Provides policy guidance for encouraging the development of consumer devices which are capable of ‘energy smart digital

EDNA has launched 5 new tasks.  These tasks cover a range of issues: Metrics for Data Centre Efficiency; Mobile Devices; Emerging Battery Technologies; Interoperability; Connection with Standardisation.   Task descriptions can be found at the links above,

The EDNA Total Energy Model of connected device energy use has been updated, including a set of interactive charts that can be used to predict the energy consumption of various scenarios.

EDNA has published a report which examines the landscape of residential IoT products and the functions within those products that can be leveraged to yield energy benefits.  The report can now be downloaded.

EDNA has published a report which examines the retrofit solutions that can make “dumb” household devices into “smart” devices which save energy.  The report can be downloaded.

The Electronic Devices and Networks Annex (EDNA) of the IEA 4E TCP welcomes the European Commission as the 14th member of the Annex.
