This standard focuses on improving the energy efficiency of Information Technology (IT) equipment used in these environments, contributing to the reduction of energy consumption and supporting the country's sustainability goals.
First and foremost, the standard is aimed at data center operators, consultants, clients, and sustainability officers. Its objective is to provide clear guidelines for optimizing both the acquisition and operation of IT equipment, with the goal of achieving energy savings of at least 30%. To achieve this, it establishes three key areas of action.
WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?
The direct impact is felt by data center operators, consultants, corporate clients, and sustainability leaders.
CONCLUSION:
The standard is high-impact because it combines international standards, operational practices, and conditions adapted to Singapore's tropical environment, significantly transforming the energy efficiency of data centers. Its implementation strengthens the sector's competitiveness, reduces costs, and contributes to national climate goals, impacting both the technology industry and the society that depends on it.
