EU Code of Conduct

Overview

In response to the rising challenges facing data centre operators, owners, systems designers, equipment manufacturers and customers the European Commission have introduced the Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centres. The Code aims to raise awareness of the issues and opportunities and to recommend best practice solutions. This course introduces the Code, the benefits it brings, the levels of commitment required, the technical background to the best practices, data collection and reporting together with real examples. This three day course will enable individuals working in data centres to improve cost and energy efficiency; helping Participants of the Code to articulate the value of their products and services for Endorsers. The ongoing development of the Code has created a best practice framework for everyone involved in data centres to work towards and aspire to. The Code encompasses topics associated with new data centre planning and development, and the tuning and operation of existing facilities.
