| Abstract |
IT industries are one of the major consumers of energy, with data centers consume an especially large portion of that power. The typical IT in a data center consumes up to 30 times more energy than a typical office building. M&V (Measurement and Verification) plans are useful for all building types, but high power density projects, such as data centers, will reap significant benefits, as measurement and benchmarking are key steps to improving energy efficiency. This paper specifies a standard for estimating savings from installation of mechanical and electrical systems in data centers, and recommends baselines for modifying or installing energy-efficient equipment in data centers. M&V is the process of using measurement to reliably determine actual savings for energy, demand, and cost within a site by ECMs (Energy Conservation Measures). This paper specifies standardized M&V approaches which target minimizing variations in quality across the analyses, and cover baseline requirements for new construction and retrofit projects and identifies rules. |
