By: 42U company The tool uses the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric as the basis for its calculation. After users insert their current PUE, goal PUE, electricity cost, and IT load, the calculator projects savings over a one, five, and ten year period—figures which help data center professionals determine the return on investment of their efficiency improvements. “In today’s economy, data center professionals need accurate data to justify projects to upper management,” Savings can be realized across all data center sizes and locations. In improving PUE from 2.0 to 1.5, a small 200kW facility in Ohio stands to save over $35,000 a year in energy costs and 264 tons of CO2 emissions. These achievements deliver an excellent bottom line message to management teams and also spread a message of environmental responsibility to the marketplace. “We’re extremely pleased to impact our clients on both levels. Our program is designed to help IT and Facilities champion these efforts in their facility,” said Lewis. 42U provides clients with a phased approach to data center efficiency, starting with low-cost/ no cost best practices that lead to an immediate reduction in energy expense.
