Ad

36、ditionality An effect or impact, such as a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, is said to be additional if it would not have occurred in the absence of a proposed project. Such a project is therefore said to go beyond business as usual or common practice and the assessment of the additionality of

37、 the project typically requires an analysis of common practice, legal and financial factors, and barriers. Affected greenhouse gas source, sink, or reservoir (SSR) A greenhouse gas (GHG) source, sink, or reservoir influenced by a project activity, through changes in market demand or supply for assoc

38、iated products or services or through physical displacement. Affected GHG SSRs may be both off-site and on-site. Application Applications are software designed to help the user perform a specific task. They can operate via virtualization or not. In addition, each application generally also requires

39、access to additional components (e.g., file server software) that run on physical machines and are physically located in the vicinity of where the application is operating, whether virtually or not. Barrier A barrier constitutes a factor that obstructs the progress of a project or its ongoing operat

40、ion. The main barriers include technical (i.e., the technology is still underdeveloped or too expensive) and risk-based (i.e., the project proponent may deem the perceived risk associated with a project activity too high). An analysis of barriers to the project is therefore typically found within th

41、e demonstration and assessment of additionality of the project activity. Within this protocol, a number of specific types of barriers are to be considered by the project proponent wishing to demonstrate the additionality of the project. Baseline scenario1Hypothetical reference case that best represe

42、nts the conditions most likely to occur in the absence of the proposed greenhouse gas (GHG) project. Base year Year zero of a project (i.e., the base case before project implementation). This in effect becomes the starting measuring point for the project in terms of baseline components 1CSA. (2006).

The carbon dioxide equivalent is calculated using the mass of a given GHG multiplied by its global warming potential. Chiller Devic

Cloud computing2A model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and offered with minimal management effort

46、 or service provider interaction. The abstraction of computing services, such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), to the state where these services are provided over an Internet-Protocol-enabled network, either an internal network or

Significant benefits of scale (particular those related to power and mechanical systems) result in large colocation facilities. Colocation customers may inc

Colocation ICT facility A type of ICT facility where multiple customers locate network, server, and storage gear and interconnect to a variety of telecommunications and other network service provider(s) with a minimum of cost and complexity.
