REPLAY | Uptime Intelligence Client Webinar: A View of Efficiency through PUE and WUE
Data center cooling system designs influence both energy efficiency and water consumption. This session presents new analyses of monthly PUE and WUE performance using operational data from multiple facilities. The findings indicate that both evaporative and dry-cooling systems, when managed by a disciplined operations team, can achieve efficient PUE and WUE values across a range of temperature and humidity conditions.
