EU Ministers agree e-goverment aims (strange)

Just saw this.

All seems far to vague.

However, the wierdest one for me was “and using ICT to improve energy efficiency in public administrations”. Not being funny – but ICT tends to be at best neutral to power usage, at worst it seems pretty detrimental.  I know that clever lighting strategies and heating strategies can reduce power requirements. Intelligent environmental sensoring can minimise power usage.  But I find it strange that using ICT to improve energy efficiency.

What do you think? can ICT improve energy efficiency? or am I just thinking inside the box?

On the plus side, at least the UK is near the top of the list for something positive. The bid to increase e-procurement presents a real opportunity for European companies.
