232 Sustainable IT tools indexed in the toolbox
Welcome to the INR tool box that presents a list of Sustainable IT tools. Our goal for 2022 is to optimize this list: to improve the methodology for selecting tools and to cover all Sustainable IT themes.
If you have any suggestions for Sustainable IT tools or would like to get involved with us to help us optimize the toolbox, please write to us: outils-nr [@] institutnr.org

Rtlamr
Utilities often use "smart meters" to optimize their residential meter reading infrastructure. Smart meters transmit consumption information in different ISM bands, which allows utilities to simply send readers through neighborhoods to collect product consumption information. One protocol in particular: Encoder Receiver Transmitter by Itron is fairly straightforward to decode and operates in the 900 MHz ISM band, well within the adjustable range of inexpensive rtl-sdr dongles. This project is a software-defined radio receiver for these messages. We use an inexpensive rtl-sdr dongle to enable users to non-invasively record and analyze their household product consumption.

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.
