Global Standards Collaboration
UpdateUpdate
• Last year’s report focused on “EIATRACK”– Program focused on tracking and analyzing
environmental regulations worldwide
• EIATRACK was acquired by IHS Global from TIA
• TIA’s members are focused on defining sustainability for the electronics and broadband industries through collaboration with other technology associations

STEPSTEP
• Sustainable Technology Environments Program (STEP)– A coalition of technology associations seeking
to define sustainability for the broadband and electronics industry
• Started by Infocomm International (A/V)– www.infocomm.org
• TIA and BICSI (www.bicsi.org) joined STEP Board of Directors in 2011

STEPSTEP
• Fills void not addressed by other “green building” rating systems– Existing rating systems have not included
audio/visual, communications, information technology, security or building automation systems
• Need to engage all stakeholders to accomplish our sustainability goals

What are STEP Benefits?What are STEP Benefits?
• Tool for owners and technology providers to implement sustainable practices in their technology projects
• Only focuses on the electronic information systems that operate within sustainable buildings
• Establishes a position alongside LEED, Energy Star, Green Building Inititative, ASHRAE 189.1 & the International Green Construction Code, among others
• Eliminates silos in electronic information systems by collaborating and sharing the rewards and risks that come with a sustainable building

Next Steps for STEPNext Steps for STEP
• www.thestepfoundation.org will be online soon• STEP Rating System and Guide demonstration
documents to be available• Additional member associations anticipated • Pilot projects are needed to verify system and develop
educational program• Foundation will seek ANSI accreditation for STEP
• Note: Additional information available

TR-42 Telecommunications TR-42 Telecommunications Cabling SystemsCabling Systems
• TR-42 addresses performance and requirements standards for telecommunications cabling and infrastructure in commercial and residential buildings, homes and data centers.– Data Centers, because of their high energy-use profile,
have been particularly interested in energy efficiency. – TR-42 (specifically TR-42.1) has been working on adding
energy efficiency content into the first revision of TIA-942.– This revision will add content on Energy Efficient Lighting
(EEL) for data centers.– Data Centers, because of their profile have become a kind
of proving ground for new technologies (like EEL), which can ultimately migrate into other types of premises as well.
