Innovation

for Energy Saving

An up-to-date technology with high efficiency and energy saving features has been applied by

factoring in key factors that would drive to long-term cost reduction efficiency. SET has also placed

its importance on “Green Technology” management, which integrated various actions such as using

tablet devices, promoting paperless activity, wisely optimizing computer equipment usage, travelling

by eco-friendly vehicles, etc.

Office computer replacement

Virtualization and Cloud Services

Green transportation

In 2014, SET laid out a policy to replace all

desktop computers with portable laptops for

the sake of long-term energy cost saving,

operational flexibility, and preventing damage

to data in case of power shortage or electricity

problem.

SET has implemented Virtualization and Cloud Services technologies in the computer center since 2010,

allowing the exchange to optimize its server resource management efficiently. In 2014, the server

consolidation showed that the capability of one Virtualization server was equivalent to the performance

of 12 old servers. In addition, these technologies have increased the operational stability as they helped cut

operational cost, reduce maintenance cost, minimize space usage, reduce energy and resource consumption,

as well as reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, more than 70% of total servers are Virtualization

and Cloud Services types, saving 0.94 million kilowatt of electricity usage and reducing the greenhouse gas

emissions by 527 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

SET encourages executives and its staff

to save fuel consumption by planning

their field trips ahead. Hybrid cars have

been used in order to reduce pollution

emissions and save fuel cost. In 2014,

a total of 77,668.88 liters of fuel were used for transportation, a 7.38% decrease

from 2013, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 13.54 tons carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
