Global Marketing Manager at Armstrong Fluid Technology

In recent years datacenters have been faced with two conflicting priorities. The requirement for cooling continues to increase, driving up energy consumption, but there is also a growing need to reduce carbon footprint.

According to the National Resources Defense Council, datacenter energy consumption in the US is forecast to to reach 140 billion kWh by 2020, making the datacenter industry the largest user of energy in the US.

TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2015 /CNW/ - Last night, participants in CivicAction's smart energy office challenge took sustainability to new heights, celebrating a drop of close to 193 million ekWh or 12.1 per cent in collective energy use over four years, charging past the program's four-year target of 10 per cent. That's equivalent to taking more than 4,200 cars off the road and putting $13.7 millionback into office landlords' and tenants' pockets.

Achieving Targets for Energy Efficiency of Datacenters

The HVAC industry is awash with acronyms but, if you are designing, installing or maintaining systems for datacenters, then the acronym that really matters is PUE. The PUE™ (Power usage effectiveness) metric provides a universal benchmark against which the environmental performance of every datacenter can be measured. It has been developed by The Green Grid Association (a non-profit, open industry consortium of end users, policy makers, technology providers, facility architects, and utility companies) and carries significant weight within the datacenter community. Whilst the guidelines issued by Green Grid and others (such as the EU Code of Conduct on Datacenters' Energy Efficiency) are currently voluntary rather than mandatory, these initiatives for accreditation and benchmarking of environmental performance provide powerful commercial advantages for those datacenter operators able to differentiate themselves through investment in energy efficiency.

Taking the Heat Out of Datacenter Cooling

Posted by Armstrong Fluid Technology on Nov 1, 2015 10:00:15 PM

By Dominic Cutts

Director – System Solutions, Armstrong Fluid Technology

Generating heat is an unavoidable outcome of electrical resistance within IT processors and, as IT processors become ever more powerful, the demand for cooling is rising. Chilled water cooling systems have a crucial role to play in dissipating heat to ensure server reliability and prevent downtime, but there is an environmental price to be paid. Overall energy demand of datacenters is escalating between 5% and 10% each year, and are responsible for 3% of the total electrical energy consumption in the UK. As a result, the environmental impact of datacenters has come under international scrutiny, with a number of organizations developing guidelines and regulatory frameworks for datacenter operation.
