• AC Uninterruptible Power Systems

• Broadband Communication Equipment

• Data Centres

• Digital TV Services

• External Power Supplies

The EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres

Most people are non-expert in some area(s) of the data centre Best Practices are guidance to operators on how they might improve energy efficiency Neither prescriptive nor exhaustive list of specific technologies Focussed on goals and processes Structured to allow the addition of new technologies Establish common vocabulary and terminology Provide operators with an understanding of the available technology options …and their relative merits Processes they should establish Communication that is necessary Relationship between technology areas

2017 Best Practice Guidelines - objectives

Best Practice categories

Best Practices are: • scored 1-5 (min-max) based upon their likely energy use benefit • ordered by score • practice scores are not intended to be summed for an ‘overall score’

Category Description

Entire Data Centre Expected to be applied to all existing IT, Mechanical and Electrical equipment within the data centre

New Software Expected during any new software install or upgrade

New IT Equipment Expected for new or replacement IT equipment

Build or retrofit 2010 onwards

Expected for any data centre built or undergoing a significant refit of the M&E equipment from 2010 onwards

Best Practice by area of application

• Data Centres utilisation, management and planning

• IT equipment and services

• Cooling

• Data Centres power equipment

• Other Data Centres equipment

• Data Centres building

• Monitoring

Best Practices - example

Best Practices analysis (2016)

• 325 DCs have applied, 289 have been granted Participant status

• 152 Best Practices in total, 81 minimum expected (2016)

• Most of the top implemented practices require low capital

expenditure (low hanging fruit)

• Recent participants implement more Best Practices

289 Participants (2016)
