SUSTAINABILITY

Power usage efficiency (PUE) - measures the effectiveness of data centre energy usage by determining the amount of power used by computing equipment, rather than other systems

Water usage efficiency (WUE) - measures how much water a data centre facility uses for cooling and other operational needs. WUE is the ratio of total water used at the data centre and is calculated by dividing annual site water usage in litres by the energy usage in kilowatt hours (Kwh)

Carbon usage effectiveness (CUE) - measures the carbon emissions from a data centre. CUE is the ratio of total CO2 emissions caused by total data centre energy consumption to the energy consumption of IT equipment
