Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) = Total Energy / UPS Energy
PUE is based on energy, not power PUE is based on source energy, not site energy
◦ Results in equitable comparisons for buildings with different fuel types utilized
◦ For a 100% electric building, the use of source energy will not change PUE
Compare actual PUE to predicted PUE◦ More efficient data centers will have lower PUE than is
predicted Express data center efficiency as a 1-to-100
ENERGY STAR rating◦ Each point on scale equals 1 percentile of data centers

Free, online benchmarking tool
The industry standard in commercial real estate
Track changes in energy, water, GHG emissions over time within a single building or entire portfolio
Understood and used by many owners, management companies, local governments, potential buyers and lenders

General Space Energy • Address: city, state, zip code
• Year built
•Gross Floor Area
•IT Energy Configuration
•Optional• IT Equipment
Redundancy• Cooling Equipment
Redundancy
•IT Energy Use• Must not include
any non-IT loads• Must be energy,
not power• 12 consecutive
months of energy data measured at UPS Output (PDU input accepted)
•Utility Bills• 12 consecutive
months of whole building energy use for all fuels used in building
Many people incorrectly classifying spaces such as server closets as “data center”
Few operators measuring IT energy use Many users not able to separate IT energy use
from non-IT load Some users calculating energy use from spot
power measurements Some users taking measurements at locations
other than those required.
