On January 13, 2010, 7x24 Exchange Chairman Robert Cassiliano and Vice President David Schirmacher met in Washington, DC with representatives from the EPA, the DOE and 7 leading industry organizations that set or use data center energy efficiency metrics, in an effort to assist data center operators wishing to assess the energy efficiency of their facilities.

The outcome of the meeting was an agreement to three guiding principles for measuring energy efficiency in data centers at the present time. These guiding principles are meant to help the industry establish a common understanding of energy efficiency metrics that can generate dialogue to improve data center efficiencies and reduce energy consumption. Each of the participating organizations has agreed to promote these guiding principles to their members and stakeholders in an effort to bring uniformity to the measurement of data center energy efficiency, while the dialogue continues to advance existing metrics.

We hope that these principles will assist you in your efforts to improve the efficiency of data centers, and welcome your questions by e-mail to [email protected].

Data Center Industry Leaders Reach Agreement on Guiding Principles for Energy Efficiency Metrics

As business demands and energy costs for data centers rise, owners and operators have focused on the energy efficiency of the data center as a whole, frequently using energy efficiency metrics. However, the metrics are not always applied clearly and consistently. To address these inconsistencies, a group of leaders from across the industry met on January 13, 2010 to agree on data center energy efficiency measurements, metrics, and reporting conventions. Organizations represented were the 7x24 Exchange, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, U.S. Department of Energy’s Save Energy Now and Federal Energy Management Programs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program, U.S. Green Building Council, and Uptime Institute.

The following guiding principles were agreed to:

• Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) using source energy consumption is the preferred energy efficiency metric for data centers. PUE is a measurement of the total energy of the data center divided by the IT energy consumption.

• When calculating PUE, IT energy consumption should, at a minimum, be measured at the output of the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). However, the industry should progressively improve measurement capabilities over time so that measurement of IT energy consumption directly at the IT load (i.e. servers) becomes the common practice.

• For a dedicated data center, the total energy in the PUE equation will include all energy sources at the point of utility handoff to the data center owner r operator. For a data center in a mixed-use building, the total energy will be all energy required to operate the data center, similar to a dedicated data center, and should include IT energy, cooling, lighting, and support infrastructure for the data center operations.

This guidance is meant to help the industry have a common understanding of energy efficiency metrics that can generate dialogue to improve data center efficiencies and reduce energy consumption. Member organizations are committed to applying and promoting these guidelines to their programs.

A task force, consisting of the organizations listed below, has been created to further refine these metrics and to identify a roadmap for the future. The group also aspires to address IT productivity and carbon accounting in the future.

15 July 2010 Recommendations for Measuring and Reporting Overall Data Center Efficiency

Version 1 – Measuring PUE at Dedicated Data Centers

1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose – Recommendations for Measuring and Publishing PUE at Dedicated Data Centers The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations on measuring and publishing values for PUE at dedicated data center facilities. These recommendations represent the collective work of a task force representing 7x24 Exchange, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, U.S. Department of Energy Save Energy Now Program, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program, United States Green Building Council, and Uptime Institute. The recommendations are prepared in accordance with the guiding principles, presented in the following section. The task force continues to work towards a Version 2 document, which will provide corresponding guidance for mixed-use buildings.

1.2 Background – Guiding Principles for Data Center Efficiency Metrics As business demands and energy costs for data centers rise, owners and operators have focused on the energy efficiency of the data center as a whole, frequently using energy efficiency metrics. However, the metrics are not always applied clearly and consistently. To address these inconsistencies, a group of leaders from across the industry met on January 13, 2010 to agree on data center energy efficiency measurements, metrics, and reporting conventions. Organizations represented included the 7x24 Exchange, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, U.S. Department of Energy Save Energy Now and Federal Energy Management Programs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program, U.S. Green Building Council, and Uptime Institute. The following guiding principles were agreed to: • Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) using source energy consumption is the preferred energy efficiency metric for data centers. PUE is a measurement of the total energy of the data center divided by the IT energy consumption. • When calculating PUE, IT energy consumption should, at a minimum, be measured at the output of the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). However, the industry should progressively improve measurement capabilities over time so that measurement of IT energy consumption directly at the IT load (i.e. servers) becomes the common practice. • For a dedicated data center, the total energy in the PUE equation will include all energy sources at the point of utility handoff to the data center owner or operator. For a data center in a mixed-use building, the total energy will be all energy required to operate the data center, similar to a dedicated data center, and should include cooling, lighting, and support infrastructure for the data center operations. This guidance is meant to help the industry have a common understanding of energy efficiency metrics that can generate dialogue to improve data center efficiencies and reduce energy consumption. Member organizations are committed to applying and promoting these guidelines to their programs.

1 A task force was created to further refine these metrics and to identify a roadmap for the future. The group also aspires to address IT productivity and carbon accounting in the future.

1.3 Scope of Recommendations The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations from this task force on how to measure and publish overall data center infrastructure energy efficiency, based on the agreed upon guiding principles. This document does not address IT efficiency. It also does not directly address system-level metrics for cooling or heat rejection, air flow management, power distribution, lighting, etc. The task force recognizes that many data centers operators may not currently have the capability to measure all energy consuming components within their facility accurately. The task force therefore recommends four (4) categories of measurement, which represent a subset of The Green Grid’s (TGG) measurement methods1. These categories range from relatively simple measurements that provide a performance snapshot to more sophisticated measurement means that provide highly detailed performance data. The intent is to encourage operators with limited measurement equipment to participate while also defining a framework that allows operators to add additional measurement points to increase the accuracy of their measurement program. The goal is to recommend a consistent and repeatable measurement strategy that allows data center operators to monitor and improve the energy efficiency of their facility. A consistent measurement approach will also facilitate communication of PUE among data center owners and operators. It should be noted that caution must be exercised when an organization wishes to use PUE to compare different data centers, as it is necessary to first conduct appropriate data analyses to ensure that other factors such as levels of reliability and climate are not impacting the PUE. At present the scope of these recommendations is limited to dedicated data center facilities. Version 2 of this document will include recommendations for data centers that are part of larger mixed-use facilities. These recommendations can also be used in the planning phase for a new data center or a major renovation of an existing facility to assist in the placement and number of measurement points and monitoring equipment. This document provides an overview of how to measure and report PUE per this task force’s recommendations. This document is not intended to serve as a detailed technical reference. Further specific details and requirements on how to measure PUE are available in The Green Grid white papers (http://www.thegreengrid.org/).

2 PUE Metric Calculation in Dedicated Data Centers Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is the recommended metric for characterizing and reporting overall data center infrastructure efficiency. The task force strongly recommends annual energy consumption (kWh) for all energy types as the unit of measure for PUE calculation. However an entry level measurement category has been included in the recommendations to allow operators that do not have consumption measurement capability to utilize demand based power readings. PUE is defined by the following formula: PUE = (Total data center energy consumption or power / IT energy consumption or power)

1 The Green Grid nomenclature and supporting information: http://www.thegreengrid.org/en/Global/Content/white‐ papers/Usage%20and%20Public%20Reporting%20Guidelines%20for%20PUE%20DCiE

2 The task force recommends four (4) measurement categories for the measurement of PUE within a data center facility: PUE Category 0 This is a demand based calculation representing the peak load during a 12-month measurement period. IT power is represented by the demand (kW) reading of the UPS system output (or sum of outputs if more than one UPS system is installed) as measured during peak IT equipment utilization. Total data center power is measured at the utility meter(s) and is typically reported as demand kW on the utility bill. As this is a snapshot measurement, the true impact of fluctuating IT or mechanical loads can be missed. However consistent measurement can still provide valuable data that can assist in managing energy efficiency. PUE category 0 may only be used for all-electric data centers i.e. it cannot be used for data centers that also use other types of energy (e.g. natural gas, district chilled water, etc.). PUE Category 1 This is a consumption based calculation. The IT load is represented by a 12-month total kWh reading of the UPS system output (or sum of outputs if more than one UPS system is installed). This is a cumulative measurement and requires the use of kWh consumption meters at all measurement points. The total energy is typically obtained from the utility company bills by adding the 12 consecutive monthly kWh readings as well as annual natural gas or other fuel consumption (converted to kWh) if present. This measurement method captures the impact of fluctuating IT and cooling loads and therefore provides a more accurate overall performance picture then PUE Category 0. PUE Category 2 This is a consumption based calculation. The IT load is represented by a 12-month total kWh reading taken at the output of the PDU's supporting IT loads (or sum of outputs if more than one PDU is installed). This is a cumulative measurement and requires the use of kWh consumption meters at all measurement points. The total energy is determined in the same way as Category 1. This measurement method provides additional accuracy of the IT load reading by removing the impact of losses associated with PDU transformers and static switches. PUE Category 3 This is a consumption based calculation. The IT load is represented by a 12 month total kWh reading taken at the point of connection of the IT devices to the electrical system. This is a cumulative measurement and requires the use of kWh consumption meters at all measurement points. The total energy is determined in the same way as Category 1. This measurement method provides the highest level of accuracy for measurement of the IT load reading by removing all impact of losses associated with electrical distribution components and non-IT related devices, e.g., rack mounted fans, etc.

Table 1 summarizes the four categories.

2.1 Definitions Dedicated data center: In this context, a dedicated data center is a facility in which all the spaces and supporting infrastructure (HVAC, lighting, electrical) are directly associated with the operation of the data center. Dedicated data centers are stand alone buildings whose exclusive purpose is IT operations and their support functions. UPS Output is defined as the output of the UPS that serves IT equipment loads. UPS output does not include efficiency losses from the UPS system but does include losses from downstream electrical distribution components such as PDU's. It may include non-IT ancillary devices installed in IT racks such as fans. If there is non-IT equipment supported by the UPS system, (e.g., CRAC, CRAH, In-row coolers, etc.) it must be metered and subtracted from the UPS Output reading (the metering approach should be consistent with the metering required for the PUE category e.g. continuous consumption metering for PUE categories 1,2 and 3). PDU Output is defined as the output of the PDU that serves IT loads. PDU output does not include efficiency losses of any transformation that occurs within the PDU but may include downstream non-IT ancillary devices installed in IT racks such as fans. If there is non-IT equipment supported by the PDU system, (e.g., CRAC, CRAH, In-row coolers, etc.) it must be metered and subtracted from the PDU Output reading (the metering approach should be consistent with the metering required for the PUE category e.g. continuous consumption metering for PUE categories 1,2 and 3). Server input is defined as the IT load as measured at the point of connection of the IT device to the electrical power system, e.g., the power receptacle(s). Server input captures the actual power load of the IT device exclusive of any power distribution losses and non-IT loads such as rack mounted fans. Peak IT electric demand (kW) is the annual peak electric demand for the IT load. Peak Total electric demand (kW) is the annual peak electric demand for the entire data center including IT and supporting infrastructure measured at the point of utility handoff. IT annual energy is calculated as annual electrical consumption of the IT. IT includes all IT equipment, servers, networking and storage as well as telecom equipment typically installed in telecom data centers. Total annual energy is calculated as the weighted sum of the annual energy consumption for all energy types serving the data center at the point of utility handoff. This includes electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and district utilities such as supplied chilled water or condenser water. All energy types must be converted into the same units before they are summed. Total annual energy must include supporting infrastructure (see definition below). Section 2.2 describes how to

4 weight different energy types. (Note that weighting only applies for data centers that have energy types in addition to electricity.) Supporting infrastructure includes the following: • Power systems: Transfer switch, UPS, DC batteries/rectifiers (non UPS – telco nodes), generator, transformer (step down), power distribution unit (PDU), rack distribution unit (RDU), breaker panels, distribution wiring, lighting. • HVAC systems: Cooling towers, condenser water pumps, chillers, chilled water pumps, computer room air conditioners (CRAC’s), computer room air handlers (CRAH’s), dry cooler, supply fans, return fans, air economizer, water-side economizer, humidifier, in- row, in-rack, & in-chassis cooling solutions. • Physical security: Fire suppression, water detection, physical security servers/devices. • Building management systems: Server/devices used to control management of data center, probes/sensors.

2.2 Weighting of Energy Types Based on Source Energy For data centers that have electricity as well as other energy types, the different energy types must be weighted according to their source energy. Source energy represents the total amount of raw fuel that is required to operate the building. It incorporates all transmission, delivery, and production losses, thereby enabling a complete assessment of energy efficiency in a building. Table 2 provides the weighting factors for each energy type, normalized to electricity. These weighting factors are based on national average source factors used by EPA in their building energy benchmarking. Weighted energy for each energy type = (Annual energy use X source energy weighting factor). Note that all energy types must be converted into the same units before they are summed2. For example, if electricity is in kWh and natural gas is in kBtu, both must be converted to a common unit. Table 2: Source energy weighting factors3 Energy Type Weighting Factor Electricity 1.0 Natural gas 0.31 Fuel oil 0.30 Other fuels 0.30 District chilled water 0.31 District hot water 0.40 District steam 0.43 Appendix A has an example of PUE calculation using source energy Weighting Factors.

2 For conversion factors, see: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/business/tools_resources/target_finder/help/Energy_Units_Conversion_Table.htm 3 The EPA source energy factor methodology is available at: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/business/evaluate_performance/site_source.pdf. The weighting factors presented in this recommendation document are obtained by dividing each EPA source factor by the reference source factor for electricity, 3.34.

5 2.3 Renewable Energy Sources Electricity from renewable energy (RE) sources should be included in the total energy or power and assigned the same source factor as grid electricity. In other words, RE sources are outside the PUE calculation boundary (figure 1). Therefore, the installation of RE sources does not change the PUE i.e. an all-grid building and all-RE building would have the same PUE. The rationale for this is that the purpose of the PUE is to evaluate how efficiently energy is used in the data center, regardless of the energy supply. Renewable energy in this context includes solar and wind power.

Misc Elec IT HVAC Use

Figure 1: Data center PUE calculation boundary with renewable energy

2.4 Combined Heat and Power Plants If the data center facility has a dedicated combined heat and power (CHP) plant, the inputs to the CHP should be included in the total energy or power (figure 2) and assigned the same source factors as those shown in table 1. The outputs from the CHP should not be included in the total energy or power. The use of CHP (like the use of more efficient cooling or other equipment) should lower the PUE. The rationale for this is that CHP is considered to be an efficiency measure rather than an alternative source of energy.

Figure 2: Data center PUE calculation boundary with CHP.

6 2.5 Reused Data Center Energy The concept of reusing waste energy (generally in the form of heat) is receiving a lot of study as part of an overall effort to improve energy efficiency. The value of this energy may or may not affect PUE, depending on the location of the re-use. • If the energy is reused within the datacenter, the value of the reused energy will already be contained within the PUE calculation and needs no special consideration. An example will be reusing waste heat to warm a battery space in a cool climate. The PUE would generally be lower because the HVAC system does not have to add as much energy to heat that battery space, thereby reducing the PUE when energy is measured and PUE calculated. • If the energy is reused outside the data center (e.g. re-using heat to warm a lab that is not part of the data center), the PUE of the data center is not affected. While the effort to conserve energy is laudable, it cannot be accounted for in the calculation of the data center PUE due to the strict definition of PUE used in these recommendations. Currently there are on-going industry efforts to define a metric that could be used to account for this beneficial use, but it is specifically excluded from PUE.

3 Publishing Format and Related Resources

When publishing PUE, the category must clearly be indicated using a subscript e.g. PUE0, PUE1, PUE2, PUE3. A PUE reported without the subscript is not considered to be in compliance with these recommendations.

Note that PUE0 may only be used for all-electric data centers i.e. it cannot be used for data centers that also use other types of energy (e.g. natural gas, district chilled water, etc.). An all-electric data center can utilize any of the PUE categories. When publishing PUE calculated in accordance with these guidelines, users may state that “PUE was calculated in accordance with the recommendations of the Data Center Metrics Coordination Taskforce, sponsored by 7x24 Exchange, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, U.S. Department of Energy Save Energy Now Program, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENREGY STAR Program, United States Green Building Council, and Uptime Institute.”

3.1 Related Resources and Tools The Green Grid (TGG) white paper #224 provides a range of options for calculating PUE, as well as an annotation system to indicate how PUE was calculated. The recommendations of this task force are essentially a subset of the options in TGG framework, as shown in Table 2, and are therefore consistent with TGG framework.

7 The U.S. EPA Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool utilizes a PUE definition that is consistent with PUE1.

The U.S. DOE’s DC Pro tool uses PUE definitions that are consistent with PUE2. The forthcoming LEED Data Centers standard has information related to the amount and type of monitoring equipment that are either prerequisites or for achieving additional points in the monitoring and verification credit category. The PUE definition used is consistent with PUE2.

4 Next Steps The task force will work to refine these recommendations so that they maybe applied at mixed use buildings, which will be presented in Version 2. In the interim it is recommended that dedicated data centers begin to adopt these recommendations when publishing PUE values. When publishing PUE calculated in accordance with these guidelines, users may state that “PUE was calculated in accordance with the recommendations of the Data Center Metrics Coordination Taskforce, sponsored by 7x24 Exchange, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, U.S. Department of Energy Save Energy Now Program, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program, United States Green Building Council, and Uptime Institute.”

8 Appendix A. Example PUE Calculation Using Source Energy Weighting Factors PUE should be based upon Source Energy as described in Section 2.2 of this document as well as the EPA source energy factor methodology as described in: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/business/evaluate_performance/site_source.pdf. Table 2 from the main document is reproduced here for convenience Energy Type Weighting Factor Electricity 1.0 Natural gas 0.31 Fuel Oil 0.30 Other fuels 0.30 District Chilled water 0.31 District hot water 0.40 District steam 0.43 Each component of the PUE calculation needs to be multiplied by the appropriate Weighting Factor. Recall the definition of PUE: Total Energy divided by IT Energy. TotalEnergy PUE = ITEnergy

Total energy should include all fuel sources. For an example data center that purchases electricity and district chilled water, the equation can be expressed as: Electricty + DistrictChilled Water PUE = IT Energy

To compute a PUE in accordance with these recommendations it is critical to include all fuels. For illustrative purposes, consider two fictitious data centers: Case A is an all electric data center, while Case B purchases chilled water from a local utility. The following tables show the input fuels, the end uses, and the approximate energy use for each end use. In order to compute the PUE it is not necessary to have the energy for each end use separately. The total energy is simply summed across all energy inputs to the data center (at the point of utility hand-off). The IT energy is the only end use that must be sub-metered within the building.

Case A – All Electric Data Center Energy Input to Data Center End-use Energy Use IT Load 1,000,000 kWh Power delivery loss 250,000 kWh Electricity Lighting 50,000 kWh (1,705,000 kWh total) Cooling 400,000 kWh Other 5,000 kWh

The PUE for Case A would be computed as: 1,705,000* (1.0) PUE = = 1.70 1,000,000* (1.0)

Case B – Data Center with District Chilled Water Energy Input to Data Center End-use Energy Use IT 1,000,000 kWh Electricity Power system loss 250,000 kWh (1,305,000 kWh total) Lighting 50,000 kWh Other 5,000 kWh

District Chilled water 1,300,000 kWh Cooling (1,300,000 kWh total) (4.44 M BTUs)

In Case B, district chilled water is used to provide cooling (remove excess heat). The PUE for Case B would be computed as: 1,305,000*(1.0)+1,300,000*0.31 PUE = =1.70 1,000,000*(1.0)

It is informative to consider that the PUE for each case is 1.70. The implication of this is that the efficiency of the cooling system in the all electric data center is identical to the efficiency with which the District Chilled Water is produced. If the Case A’s cooling system was more efficient, then it would have required less than the 400,000 kWh in the example and the PUE would be lower. If Case A’s cooling system is less efficient then it would have used more than the 400,000 kWh to cool the data center (including distribution losses and lighting) and the PUE would be higher.

The presentation will identify different system configurations that are currently being installed to achieve Tier III and IV designs. Active Power (Sonoran Ballroom C) The Whole Story Behind the Virtualized Datacenter – Breakthrough Economics and Eco Responsibility Martin Olsen, Vice President, Global Channels, Active Power, Inc. Energy consumption and facility space continue to be pain points for datacenter operators. The challenge lies in how to help end users reduce their energy consumption with green products that don’t consume a lot of space. With more and more suppliers offering IT containers (or datacenters “in a box”), capacity can now be added virtually anywhere and scaled as needed to expand the operator’s infrastructure as business and IT needs change. But is there truly a cost savings to deploying a containerized datacenter as compared to a conventional brick and mortar approach? What about power/cooling infrastructure to ensure 7x24 availability of the system? This presentation will draw together three strands of operational and environmental “hot topics” in the datacenter and how the IT container with modular power/cooling infrastructure can provide operators a breakthrough in economics and eco responsibility. This would be presented around a power consumption model that takes into account all the consumers – the IT load, cooling, provision of power protection, lighting, heating, ventilation, access security control and building services and controls – with different versions for low, medium and high power density IT deployments.
