Reduction of electrical consumption and PUE optimization of your data center

We help you to continuously measure and optimize the energy performance of your data center:

• Mapping, measurement and analysis of the energy consumption of your IT rooms
• Analysis of your data center environment: temperature, humidity, pollution, etc.
• Dynamic simulation of air flow (CFD)
• Planning of IT rooms to optimize the operation of air conditioning units and cooling systems
• Feasible cooling and heat recovery solution studies
• Costing of solutions and ROI calculation
• Implementation of energy performance indicators, in particular PUE

Data center energy performance indicators

• PUE, or Power Usage Effectiveness: originally developed by The Green Grid consortium, this is the benchmark indicator for measuring the energy efficiency of a data center. Since 2016, PUE has been the international standard (ISO IEC 30134-2).
• REF, or Renewable Energy Factor: quantification of the proportion of renewable energy consumed by a data center. Since 2016, REF has been the international standard (ISO/IEC 30134-3).
• CUE, or Carbon Usage Effectiveness; measurement of greenhouse gases generated by a data center.
• WUE, or Water Usage Effectiveness: measurement of the quantity of water consumed by data centers.

APL participates actively in the development of the European Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centers, a code of conduct launched on the initiative of the European Commission to support best practice in the field of data center energy efficiency.
