Among the partners in The Green Grid’s efforts are the Energy Star Program; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry; and the European Union’s Joint Research Center Code of Conduct. Many major IT companies already use PUE to measure data center efficiency. For example, in 2010, Facebook predicted that it would achieve a PUE of 1.15 for its data center in Prineville, Oregon. By April 2011, the site announced that it had achieved a 1.07 PUE rating. Google, Yahoo, Amazon and many other large players use the metric with Google claiming the best average PUE across all data centers of 1.14. “Data centers by their very nature generate a tremendous amount of heat, so a significant amount of a company’s energy costs stem from the need to keep the facility cool,” added Todd. “By calculating a company’s PUE value on a regular basis over time, a company should be able to identify ways to modify their energy consumption and determine whether those changes have resulted in noticeable improvements to energy efficiency.” IT professionals can view all of Electrorack’ About Electrorack | A Group brand Legrand Electrorack empowers next-generation facilities with the ability to address the issues of heat, power, scalability, and sustainability through fully-integrated enclosure engineering.
