The Green Grid has published a new business guide in an attempt to create better efficiencies certain European data centres including the UK.
"Climate change and fuel security have dramatically risen up the policy agenda, resulting in a comprehensive policy framework at both the European Union (EU) and national levels. The growth of data centres, and their energy intensity, means the industry will be particularly affected by the drive for energy efficiency of product design and building services." - CB Richard Ellis
Green Group has said that the 32 page guide provides data centres with a fully packed facts and figures guide on how to green up their operations.
Although the guide is, just that, the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment that is set to be introduced will force data centres to meet green requirements or they will be forced to pay a penalty. For more information see the www.carbontrust.co.uk
