Section: 6.15a.1 Description
Content: Climate change and the rising consumption of energy motivate increased energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is a strategic priority for telecom operators around the world. Energy efficiency as a service criteria allows services to be delivered with diverse energy efficiency and energy consumption policies. Energy consumption and efficiency information and network energy states can be exposed to third parties and energy consumption can be constrained. Energy related information can include ratio of renewable energy and carbon emission information when available. Calculation of energy related information as described in the following requirements is done by means of averaging or applying a statistical model. The requirements do not imply that some form of 'real time' monitoring is required.
