Starting in June of this year, data center operators can apply for Energy Star status. The new rating system will score data centers based on PUE, or power unit efficiency, on a scale of 1 - 100.
The operators will use an online tool that allows them to enter information on energy use and operations to calculate their PUE. The PUE determines efficiency based on the total power used by the data center, divided by the amount that reaches the IT equipment, not the cooling systems or inefficient power supplies.
