The EU is introducing a raft of new financial and technical sustainability laws in the coming years. These laws will increase the regulatory reporting burden on owners, operators and users of European data centers.
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…
The European Union Parliament and commission have agreed on the final Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) data center requirements. What does this mean for operators with a presence in the EU and what does it foretell for global data center regulation?
This Q&A brings together contributor questions and expert answers relating to Uptime Institute Intelligence's Five data center predictions for 2023 report.
This Q&A brings together contributor/member questions and expert answers from a series of Uptime webinars held on the topic of sustainability and regulations and reporting in 2022.
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 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.
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,…
The European Commission's proposed recast of its Energy Efficiency Directive promises to transform how operators manage and report energy performance and sustainability in Europe.
Data centers are subject to an expanding set of sustainability measurement and reporting requirements - most are voluntary but will increasingly be mandated. Operators need to prepare to meet these requirements.
Energy consumption by data centers has a significant environmental impact and operating cost. Consequently, tracking energy-related measurements and metrics should be embedded in routine business processes and operations.
A data center GHG emissions reduction plan should optimize and minimize energy consumption and focus on the procurement of renewable or zero-emissions energy to supply the facility.
This series of Uptime Intelligence reports guides managers and responsible operators through the complex set of issues involved in creating an environmental sustainability strategy for data centers and associated digital infrastructure.
The proposed Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will introduce new reporting and resiliency requirements in Europe - and many authorities around the world are expected to be heavily influenced by these plans.
