This Q&A brings together questions and answers on the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and its implications globally. Topics covered include reporting, efficiency, heat reuse, ISO standards, carbon capture and transparency.
Uptime Intelligence has been providing regular updates and insights on the efforts of the European Parliament and European Commission (EC) to finalize the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) recast requirements. The directive is the most radical and co...
Digital infrastructure operators have started to refocus their sustainability objectives on 100% 24x7 carbon-free energy (CFE) consumption: using carbon-free energy for every hour of operation. To establish a 24x7 CFE strategy, operators must track a...
Data center operators that set net-zero goals will ultimately have to transition to 100% 24x7 carbon-free energy. But current technological limitations mean it is not economically feasible in most grid regions. In the past decade, the digital infrast...
This report analyzes server data from The Green Grid’s Server Efficiency Rating Tool (SERT) database and provides quantitative guidance to help enterprises estimate their server energy saving potential.
This Q&A brings together contributor questions and expert answers relating to Uptime Institute Intelligence’s Five data center predictions for 2023 report.
Early in 2022, Uptime Intelligence observed that the return of Moore’s law in the data center (or, more accurately, the performance and energy efficiency gains associated with it) would come with major caveats (see Moore’s law resumes — but not for a...
Operators report that their sustainability initiatives not only benefit the environment — they also reduce operating costs and improve customer engagement. Sustainability strategies, however, vary widely.
Topics discussed include: the collection and management of greenhouse gas emissions data, the options for dealing with Scope 3 emissions and the procurement and reporting of renewable energy for both direct consumption and as offsets.
This Q&A brings together contributor / member questions and expert answers resulting from the Uptime Institute Global Data Center Survey 2022. Topics discussed include: IT efficiency, sustainability, outages, supply chain issues and staffing. The...
For the past two years, Uptime has been tracking the progress of what is likely to be the most important legislation yet for data center sustainability and efficiency reporting. The European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) will affect all but the s...
This Q&A discusses the issues surrounding the improvement of IT system efficiency, including equipment definitions and efficiency, power management and systems-level software to optimize equipment utilization levels.
More data center operators are establishing 7x24 goals for clean energy consumption, an approach that is consistent with Uptime Intelligence recommendations on clean energy procurement and goals. This webinar assesses the limits of a 7x24 commitment ...
While the politicians argue, stakeholders in the US have been scouring the IRA’s 274 pages for opportunities to capitalize on these lucrative incentives. Some of these will be substantial.
Digital Infrastructure Managers are facing demands from stakeholders and regulators to account for Scope 3 emissions, absent any consensus on reporting standards. This webinar will explore the practical realities and challenges of assessing, managing...
