Energy and Sustainability in Data Centers
This chapter provides information and guidance on the drivers of energy use in data centers. It is a complex topic—the variables and skillsets involved in the optimization of energy use and minimization of environmental impacts are cross‐disciplinary and include IT professionals, power and cooling engineers, builders, architects, finance and accounting professionals, and energy procurement teams. When evaluating a comprehensive energy and sustainability plan, it is critical to understand the source of energy (fossil fuel, coal, oil, natural gas, wind, solar, hydro, etc.) and the efficiency of the electricity generation to develop an all‐inclusive view of how the facility impacts the environment. The chapter provides some good information, tips, and resources for further reading that will help obviate (metaphorically) having to replace the engine on your car simply to reduce energy expenditures when the proper engine could have been installed in the first place.
