Data center operators are already required to reduce their impact on the climate and soon they may have to do the same with local habitats. Emerging nature restoration rules will demand action to preserve ecosystems and biodiversity.
The Netherlands has started to publish data center EED information and KPI reports — the first EU nation to do so — but with only 25% of reported IT space including data on energy and water use, the 2024 data report will not provide meaningful data.
Data center teams and their suppliers need to build a coherent, achievable sustainability strategy to address emerging regulations. Managers should clarify roles and set cross-functional metrics to achieve sustainability goals.
The data center industry's largest and most influential survey results are in! Join us as we discuss the 14th Annual Uptime Global Data Center Survey 2024 which reveals an industry that is expanding, and is also planning for major technological,…

The 14th edition of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in the areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and AI.
According to a recent court ruling, European organizations are required to charge value added tax (VAT) on waste heat that they give away for free. This calls into question the economics of waste heat reuse.
In response to stronger environmental legislation, data center operators in European countries are making greater investments in data center efficiency — as well as increasing their reporting.
Data Center reporting for the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) has been set for September 15, 2024. This webinar provides the current status and nuances of the reporting requirements as understood by Uptime Institute.
Concrete and steel account for up to 50% of the building shell product carbon footprint (PCF). Material substitutions or alternative energy sources can reduce the two materials’ PCF by up to 30%, but zero-emission products are years away.
The Netherlands and Germany have established data reporting requirements with early reporting dates. The European Commission is working with member states to validate their European Database on Data Centers so operators can meet the deadlines.
Energy attribute certificates (EACs) are becoming the preferred option for demonstrating the consumption of carbon-free and renewable energy. However, there is still some considerable debate regarding what type of EACs to use.
This webinar explores low water use cooling system innovations and water management strategies that can help operators navigate the sustainability and reliability implications associated with water use.
The increasing visibility of the data center sector, partly due to the significant growth in aggregate energy use and carbon emissions within the sector, has led to increased scrutiny of data centers’ individual and collective environmental…
Goals for achieving net-zero emissions by 2030 are being extended, according to Uptime Institute survey data. This is likely driven by stricter reporting requirements, rising costs and limited availability of carbon-free energy.
The 14th edition of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of data center owners and operators in the areas of resiliency, sustainability, efficiency, staffing, cloud and AI. The attached data files…
