As the data center industry develops and managers implement innovative new approaches that drive energy efficiency, taking action to reduce environmental impact often also leads to cost savings.
Currently, environmental objectives, like reducing total GHG emissions, conflict with the rapid growth of the industry. However, through standardized reporting practices, it’s possible to understand the total scale of this challenge.
Mission critical data center operations typically require significant amounts of water and energy for cooling, and hyperscale server rack power density is expected to double as soon as 2023.

This report predicts some of the potential outcomes ahead, including achieving zero-carbon emissions, reducing dependency on cloud, benefiting from processor innovation and ensuring supply chain resiliency.
HVAC system can become a revenue-generator for enterprises and can ultimately provide an energy source that would otherwise be wasted if released into the atmosphere.
While the PUE metric has shortcomings that have long been recognized by many within the industry, it remains widely used as an industry benchmark — it’s enduring appeal due, perhaps, to its simplicity and usefulness.
The primary sources of energy consumption in most data centers are server operations and cooling. Much of the energy usage comes from large industrial equipment, such as pumps, chillers, and cooling towers.
