UNEP specs for IT efficiency: more work required
United for Efficiency (U4E), a global policy initiative led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to promote energy-efficient products, has proposed guidance for data center equipment and IT systems. The Green Public Procurement Technical Guidelines and Specifications for Energy Efficient Data Centers and Servers (hereafter referred to as the Guidelines) specify operating requirements and performance thresholds for IT and facility infrastructure, as well as procurement and performance requirements for server and storage equipment. UNEP U4E's influence spans South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific geographies (Table 1).
