Recommendations for Measuring and Reporting Overall Data Center Efficiency: Version 2 — Measuring PUE at Data CenterPDF

Tools and resources are available to help data center owners and operators benchmark data center energy use, identify savings opportunities, and adopt energy efficient practices. The R&D Portfolio includes projects funded by DOE's Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) that can dramatically improve the energy efficiency of the nation's information technology and telecommunications (ICT) industries. On this site you will find information on the following:

  • R&D projects that advance new ICT technologies in equipment and software, power supply, and cooling.

  • DC Pro Software Tool Suite includes three tools to measure energy use and identify opportunities for savings in data centers.

  • Data Center Energy Practitioner program qualifies professionals to evaluate energy use and efficiency opportunities in data centers.

  • Awareness training on energy efficiency is provided by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

  • Case studies reveal steps companies are taking to reduce data center operating costs, increase energy efficiency, and regain cooling infrastructure capacity.

  • Partnerships with the Federal Energy Management Program and other government and industry organizations work to improve data center efficiency and help meet AMO's goals. Contact us for more information.
