An ecological website
Committed to a CSR (Social and Environmental Responsibility) approach, the Domaine de la Trille has chosen to create an eco-friendly website designed to showcase its company and its products.
What is web eco-design?
Digital tools have an impact on the environment. Eco-design is based on the analysis and measurement of these impacts: greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide), water consumption, depletion of natural resources...
According to a study by GreenIT*, the main causes of digital pollution are the manufacture of physical equipment (computer, screen, telephone, server...). From the outset, manufacturing has many impacts:
- Use of non-renewable mineral resources: extraction of raw materials needed for the manufacture of computer motherboards, monitors, electronic circuits...
- Transformation of raw materials into components: a large amount of energy is used to transform the ore (coal, oil...)
- Transport and assemble components

A better website that respects the planet
Energy Rating B for the website www.domainedelatrille.com
It is an excellent ranking according to the criteria of eco-design web. The website obtains a compliance AA (Silver Level): 55% of the 115 good practices of Ecoconception web are integrated into the project*.
It is possible to know the environmental performance of a website thanks to the measurement and calculation tool (GreenIT-Analysis extension for Chrome and Firefox - Tool made by Green It).

Environmental footprint (GHG, Greenhouse Gases)
Measurement of the amount of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) used for the manufacture of the page, its transport on Internet service providers (ADSL...) and its display by a web user.
Unit: gram CO2 equivalent (gCO2e).
Average per page of website www.domainedelatrille.com: GHG (gCO2e): 1.6 gr
Average not to exceed in eco-design: 2 gr
Water consumption
Measurement of the quantity of water consumed by the software (website) over the entire life cycle: manufacture, distribution/ marketing, use, end of life.
Digital represents:
0.2% of world water consumption.
10% of water consumption compared to household water consumption (excluding agriculture).
Average per page of website www.domainedelatrille.com: Water (cl): 2.4

Page Complexity (Dom Size)
Measures the complexity of a page in terms of technical construction (DOM). The heavier and more complex it is, the longer and more difficult it will be for the browser to display the web page and the more effort it takes on the computer. The lighter the technical construction, the easier it is for the browser and computer and the longer their lifespan increases.
Average per page of the website www.domainedelatrille.com: Dom size: 440

Bandwidth (page weight)
Measures the weight of the page. The weight varies depending on the images, the amount of content. It is important to compress your images so that they are displayed quickly. Also, to have pages that offer a reasonable amount of information (display a list of many articles on multiple pages instead of just one).
