The Federal Energy Management Program’s (FEMP’s) Data Center Program assists federal agencies and other organizations with optimizing the design and operation of energy and water systems in data centers. It also funds the work at the Center of Expertise for Energy Efficiency in Data Centers (CoE) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
 

In both single- and two-phase immersion cooling systems, the choice of an immersion fluid is especially important.

Commerce, education, health care, and entertainment all depend on a stable digital infrastructure and the future of life on this planet requires data centers that can provide this sustainably.

Liquid cooling offers a way to increase heat rejection by 23 times because of the thermal conductivity of water versus air. It also allows cooling systems to extract heat as close to the generation source as possible.

As the data center industry develops and managers implement innovative new approaches that drive energy efficiency, taking action to reduce environmental impact often also leads to cost savings. 

The EnergyPQA.com system automatically calculates PUE for the data center and presents it in a dashboard.

Currently, environmental objectives, like reducing total GHG emissions, conflict with the rapid growth of the industry. However, through standardized reporting practices, it’s possible to understand the total scale of this challenge.

Mission critical data center operations typically require significant amounts of water and energy for cooling, and hyperscale server rack power density is expected to double as soon as 2023.
