Workspace Technology’s ‘Total Carbon Commitment’
Workspace Technology’s ‘Total Carbon Commitment’ delivers a
unique holistic approach to data centre designs. By taking a much
broader view when engaging in the design process, Workspace
Technology ensures every aspect relating to the data centre
efficiency is explored and not just those that directly relate to the
data centre power and cooling.
The holistic approach encompasses:-
Measure
Measurement is the key to unlocking our understanding
of energy consumption and energy utilisation.
Reduce
Reduction in demand through maximising ‘useful work’
per watt in turn reducing infrastructure overhead.
Design
Deployment of ‘Best Practice’ Data Centre Design
reduces infrastructure overhead relative to the critical
load.
Renew
Implementation of renewable energy sources lowers the
carbon content of the energy profile.
Recovery
Heat recovery enables waste heat to be put to
productive use reducing downstream energy costs.
