This report explains the nuances of using energy consumption, energy attribute certificates and emissions factor data to calculate the use of renewable energy and carbon-free energy, and a Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventory.
The final publication of the approved EED means that data center operators will need to undertake internal efforts to comply with energy management system and data reporting requirements.
This session evaluates the methodologies to account for emissions from IT operations in cloud and colocation facilities and embedded carbon in IT equipment purchases, and discusses their management as part of a net zero program.
Gigantic “gigawatt” data center campuses are being proposed or planned in many locations around the world. They could change the digital infrastructure landscape, but many questions — including how many will be built — remain.
Executives in many industries have been bold with their sustainability claims, setting ambitious net-zero goals and heralding minor successes. For digital infrastructure, as elsewhere, a painful and expensive correction is coming.
The Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2023 provided insights and site data from owners and operators globally. The findings from North America reveal key differences in the areas of staffing, energy, cloud and AI.
Recovery of data center waste heat is garnering renewed interest for its sustainability credentials. This report investigates these initiatives and looks at their impact both on efficiency and cost.
Over the next decade, digital infrastructure operations will need to comply with an emerging set of regulatory requirements. Managers can smooth the path to compliance by focusing on business processes and data collection.
Attitudes to critical infrastructure regulation vary across the world, with the regulators and the regulated mostly agreeing about the goal, role and application of new rules. The US, however, remains an outlier.
Few operators compile and report the primary operational data needed to create effective sustainability programs and fulfill regulatory requirements, Uptime research suggests.
This Q&A brings together questions and answers from a webinar on the transactions per megawatt hour metric. Topics include power management, server refresh and sustainability, GHG emissions, IT metrics and utilization rates.
Improving data center infrastructure energy efficiency is vital in helping organizations contain costs and carbon emissions that result from IT growth. This report compares seven projects using a data- and experience-based model.
This session covers common digital infrastructure sustainability myths, misunderstandings, and poorly understood areas, and provides advise on building better sustainability strategies.
Regulatory concerns over security, resiliency and energy use have led to a wave of new and updated requirements for data centers. Organizations are beginning to invest more to achieve compliance.
With ever-increasing critical digital workloads being processed and stored by third parties, regulators are extending their oversight to reach deeper into the digital supply chain in the financial system.
