The Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact is an initiative signed by 25 operators and 17 associations, including major companies like Equinix and Google. Its goals include achieving a high energy efficiency standard by 2025, ensuring that 75% of data center energy use is matched by renewable energy by 2025 and 100% by 2030, improving water conservation, moving towards a circular economy, and examining the potential for waste heat reuse.
How can data centers improve sustainability?
Data centers can enhance sustainability by creating a clear strategy with defined objectives, implementing efficient designs to reduce energy losses, driving operational efficiency through data collection and predictive maintenance, purchasing renewable energy through various methods, and decarbonizing their supply chains by working with vendors who prioritize sustainability.
Why is PUE not enough for measuring sustainability?
While PUE is a valuable metric for measuring energy efficiency, it has limitations. It does not account for the efficiency of IT systems and can lead to misleading conclusions if used in isolation. For example, reducing IT load without balancing infrastructure load can result in a higher PUE. Therefore, a broader approach that includes additional metrics is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of sustainability.
