New ENERGY STAR Data Center Rating: Webinar May 19

EPA has been working with the data center industry to develop a 1-to-100 energy performance score for data centers that will be launched in Portfolio Manager on June 7, 2010. To develop the rating system, EPA collected data on energy use and operating characteristics from a large number of existing data centers. The statistical regression analysis employed for all of EPA’s energy performance rating models was then applied to the data set, resulting in a score that is applicable for stand alone data centers AND buildings that contain data centers within them.

Join us on Wednesday, May 19 at 2 PM EDT to learn more about the new rating and data required to accurately incorporate data center spaces in Portfolio Manager. Specifically, the session will cover the following topics:

§ Definition of data center and the key characteristics to define a space as data center;
§ Common industry metrics and requirements for Portfolio Manager, including Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and information technology (IT) energy; and
§ Data center energy consumption data required to receive a rating in Portfolio Manager.
