DCIE - (rating your data center)
DCiE = IT Energy/Total DataCenter Energy

Other Data Center Metrics:• Power distribution: UPS efficiency, IT power supply
efficiency• HVAC
– IT total/HVAC total– Fan watts/cfm– Pump watts/gpm– Chiller plant (chiller or overall HVAC system) kW/ton
• Lighting watts/square foot• Rack cooling index (fraction of IT within ASHRAE
recommended temperature range)• Return temperature index (RAT-SAT)/ITΔT (a
measure of mixing of air in the data center)

EPA’s Energy Performance Rating System
• Obtaining data on IT energy use and total data center energy use for large sample of data centers (voluntary effort) over 12-month period
• Collecting data to analyze key variables. Adjustments may be made to account for factors such as climate or tier level
• Rank performance on scale of 1-to-100 where one point represents one percentile of the sample
• Top quartile eligible for Energy Star label
• Usable for both stand-alone data centers and data centers housed within office or other buildings
• Data must be measured in a consistent way
• To date 100 organizations with over 198 centers are participating

Data Needed to Build Rating
• Required data
– Climate zone (zip code)
– Type of data center (function)
– Reliability (Tier Level)
– Total IT plug energy (12 months of data)
– Total facility energy usage (12 months of data for all fuels)
• Data needed from a wide variety of facilities (large/small, stand-alone/within larger bldg, etc.)
• EPA estimates that good data from at least 100 data centers is needed in order to develop the rating

ENERGY STAR Data Center Rating Goals
• Ideal high level metric: kBtu / useful work• Challenge: how to measure “useful work”?• Next Steps
– Agree on “useful work” – challenge industry to reach consensus
– Implement working metrics for end users while industry determines definition of “useful work”
