Technology promises substantial cost reductions through efficiency and ability to generate chilled water
In the future, office buildings will generate their own energy and resources. Some companies are already working to reduce their carbon footprint.
More daylight gives office and building managers new tools to save on lighting and electric.
An organization’s data center is vital for all of it’s day-to-day operations. The key to keeping it operational is to maintain consistent temperatures.
The guide focuses on the design and construction of buildings that are ready to accept renewable energy systems to meet low-energy loads.
The desire to be masters of their own energy domains has helped fast-track a growing community of self-generating – and increasingly green – data center power consumers.
Owners can shrink their carbon footprints by powering their centers’ generators with alternative energy. Hydrogen fuel cells effectively reduce emissions, converting a company’s electricity reliance away from diesel towards sustainable options.
Leading data center operators are finding that clean power is becoming price-competitive with utility-sourced power in many markets.
Many companies look down on data centers for high energy usage, especially when they’re disconnected from the costs due to a cloud-based infrastructure. They forget that the companies behind the data centers are businesses too, and that they look for every possible way to improve efficiency and keep expenses down. The Natural Resources Defense Council... Read more »
Hydrogen fuel cells, which until now have mainly powered vehicles, could soon be used to supply clean energy to data centers. @Enterprisenxt
Data centers throughout Europe are leading the charge in efficient energy practices and renewable energy.
In data centers, visibility of ambient temperatures and airflow at the rack or server level is challenging to acquire without a balometer, and even so, balom...
Most of the proposed solutions for green data centers need improvement. It’s time to be more invasive and take a few lessons from cloud multitenancy
The need to develop data centers that have an infrastructure, which is cost effective, smart and clean is now more than ever
Survey finds that 84% of data center owners are seriously considering renewable energy.
Alibaba Cloud is on track to meet carbon reduction targets as it upgrades server-storing data centers around the world, according to a scientist on the project.
Those lazy, hazy days of summer are upon us again and while I have written about this before, many small and midsize firms will still see their data center’s cooling systems pushed to their limits, and even far beyond.
The cloud wastes an awful lot of energy as heat. One company is putting it to good use.
A recently sponsored solar farm is only a drop in the bucket when it comes to Amazon's overall energy consumption. It needs to do more, advocates say.
