Good practices in eco-design
This brochure is a complement to the 3 brochures of good practices related to software development offered by the network of SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT players within Higher Education and Research: DevLOG. This section is dedicated to good practices in terms of digital service ecodesign which make it possible to apprehend, understand and reduce the environmental footprint of digital technology. After having explained the general context in a first sheet, a second sheet ("But why?") Highlights the need to integrate an environmental dimension in our digital service designs, and consequently in our software developments. The third sheet ("When?") Recalls the stages in the life cycle of a digital service to introduce the best practice sheets that correspond to the different stages: "Before", "During" and "After", keeping in mind the mind that development is often iterative, and the boundaries between the different stages are permeable. At the end of the brochure, you will find a specific sheet on good ecodesign practices for scientific computing, as well as sheets on development on a mobile platform, for the web and on the accelerator.
Fruggr
Fruggr is an automated assessment platform for the environmental and social footprints of digital services. Thanks to its many KPIs, its objective is to improve the impact of companies' information systems by implementing a continuous improvement process. The license is commercial for the moment, even if in the future part of the code (the calculation engine) will be released in Open Source for the sake of transparency and sharing with the community.
Octo carbon footprint calculator
Excel sheet making it possible to estimate emissions linked to the use of digital services (tailor-made dev) by including a share of emissions linked to the manufacture of terminals, networks and servers which make it possible to benefit from these digital services.

Myclimatepal
While we generally know that eating meat and stealing is bad for our climate, it is difficult to take effective action. Is it better to stop eating meat or take the train instead of a plane? We believe that understanding the effects of your actions is essential to improve them. That's why we are building MyClimatePal to be the easiest way to better understand your CO2 footprint.
