An energy management program is the cornerstone of a sustainability strategy. The first objective should be to minimize energy use through conservation and efficiency measures — maximizing the IT work delivered per unit of energy consumed within the data center.
Power use effectiveness is a key metric, but it only covers facilities efficiency. IT systems also need to be optimized to minimize energy consumption. Increasing the amount of renewable electricity used can provide further environmental benefits — primarily the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
