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.
This briefing report identifies and describes a number of de facto standards and laws used in the field of data center sustainability and efficiency (for convenience, we use the term “standards” for all).
Hyperscalers use DC busbars in their racks. Proven at large scale, the technology saves energy and materials, but without a market for DC servers that meets the needs of smaller operators and enterprises, no one else will use it.
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 footprint...
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, D...
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.
Electric grids face serious issues largely because of national efforts to reduce carbon emissions and boost electrification. Data center growth will add to these problems — but unreliable data could lead to poor decision-making.
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.
