Definitions

• By Information and Communications Technology (ICT) we mean, the Equipment, systems, services, technologies and methods (voice, data, visual, digital) used for communicating, processing, managing, using, storing and destroying information.

• By Green ICT we mean, the tools, techniques and approaches that reduce the material impact of ICT on the environment across its lifecycle, ranging from the resources and materials used in the manufacture/development of ICT, the conditions under which ICT is manufactured or developed, the delivery of ICT to customers and users, the energy consumed in using ICT, and, the disposal of ICT at the end of its life

•  Ref: HMG GDU (Green Delivery Unit)

•  However, ICT not only has the capacity to reduce its own energy use and carbon emissions but also across the entire supply chain in virtually all other commercial, public and educational activities.

Data Centres

What do we mean by Data Centres?

The EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres (Energy Efficiency) defines a data centre as..

“For the purposes of the Code of Conduct, the term “data centres” includes all buildings, facilities and rooms which contain enterprise servers, server communication equipment, cooling equipment and power equipment, and provide some form of data service (e.g. large scale mission critical facilities all the way down to small server rooms located in office buildings).

Ref: Code of Conduct on Data Centres – Participant Guidelines - Version 2.0, 20 November 2009 Pg 5

PUE/DCiE Calculation

• PUE = Total Load/IT Load

• 4,000,000/2,000,000 = 2

•DCiE = IT Load/Total Load x 100 (%)

• 2,000,000/4,000,000 = 0.50 x 100% = 50%
