Energy Usage in the Data Center

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study on data center power allocation:• 46 percent used by IT equipment such as servers• 23 percent used by HVAC cooling equipment• 8 percent by HVAC fans• 8 percent by uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment losses• 4 percent by lighting• 11 percent other uses, e.g., misc. electrical losses, support office area, etc.
