Cluster of FP7 Projects Proposes New Environmental Efficiency Metrics for Data Centres

6 FP7 Projects from the ICT-2013.6.2 Call on Data Centres Sustainability (DC4Cities, RenewIT, Dolfin, GENiC, GEYSER & GreenDataNet), aiming to increase renewable energies use, heat reuse and the utilization of Smart Grids, as well as 2 projects from a previous FP7 Call (All4Green, CoolEmAll), have combined efforts to form a 50 partner global Cluster to develop new environmental efficiency metrics and methodologies to be used to measure common variables, compare results and collectively support standards development.

At a workshop in Brussels on September 10th, the cluster released a document with the proposed new metrics which can be found here.
