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…
The 14th edition of the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey highlights the experiences and strategies of vendors, product suppliers, engineering firms, and consultants in the areas of data center spending, customer challenges, supply chains,…
Sometime after 2026, the EU is expected to adopt an upcoming version of CENELEC’s TS 50600-5-1 Maturity Model to assess data center sustainability. The current technical specification has some controversial elements.
This report looks at the leading frameworks for carbon reporting with regards to energy attribute certificates (EACs) and Scope 3, including their sector-specific guidance (if any) for data centers.
The reporting of IT equipment Scope 1 to 3 emissions across the data center value chain can account for the same emissions up to six times. Sustainability efforts should favor achieving more efficient, less carbon-intensive operations.
This report captures some findings from the Uptime Institute Sustainability and Climate Change Survey 2023, including that more than half of operators are still to set a net-zero emissions goal and less than half compile key metrics.
Uptime Intelligence is inviting interested parties to collaborate on an initiative to improve data sharing between co-hosting / colocation companies and IT operators in order to comply with regulations and meet sustainability goals.
Refrigeration’s history of progress is also a history of environmental concern. Whenever new refrigerants solve a problem, they create further crises down the line — and now history appears to be repeating itself.
The final EED delegated regulation was published on March 14, 2024. Data center operators have until September 15, 2024, to report the required information and key performance indicators to the EU database on data centres.
Data center operators face expanding information and key performance indicator reporting requirements. Standard accounting practices and data exchange processes will help enable the efficient exchange of information.
