The Green Grid Association focuses on developing and promoting energy efficiency for data centers and business computing ecosystems globally. By defining user-centric models, developing standards, and promoting adoption of energy efficient technologies, the organization aims to improve performance and reduce energy consumption in data center operations. With approximately 185 member companies, The Green Grid works towards enhancing sustainability in IT business practices.

The Green Grid Association • Name of organisation and associated bodies • The Green Grid Association, a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization • Description of what this organisation is addressing • The Green Grid is a global consortium dedicated to developing and promoting energy efficiency for data centers and business computing ecosystems by: • Defining meaningful, user-centric models and metrics • Developing standards, measurement methods, best practices and technologies to improve performance against the defined metrics • Promoting the adoption of energy efficient standards, processes, measurements and technologies • Who are the consumers • The Green Grid currently has approximately 185 member companies, representing all facets of the information technology business community: • e.g. data center operations (IT and facilities), facilities equipment manufacturers, software providers, energy providers and ICT equipment manufacturers.
The Green Grid Association • Taxonomy, terms, definitions and metrics used and introduced. • PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) metric • Green Grid defines how to measure, show scalability, perform statistical analyses, and certify results for Data Center PUE scores • Have compiled a glossary of terms related to data center equipment • Standards (certification) being proposed, developed or suggested. Current Standards. • PUE • DCiE • DCeP
DCeP: Under Development Useful Work DCeP = Total Facility Power How Much Work Can My IT Equipment Do, In My Facility? • Power • Switchgear • UPS • Battery • Backup • etc. • Cooling • Chillers • CRACs • etc. • IT Equipment • Servers • Storage • Telco • etc. Total Facility Power IT Equipment Power DCeP For TheWork You Do PUE & DCiE For Efficient Facilities
The Green Grid Association • How does this relate to the scope of EEDC • PUE serves as the metric for evaluation of data center infrastructure energy efficient for Energy Star for Data Centers, the European Union Data Centre Code of Conduct and other programs. • The Green Grid’s Data Center Design Guide will be an annually-refreshed guide for state-of-the-art energy efficient data center design, deployment and operation.
The Green Grid Data Center Design Guide • For building and operating energy efficient data centers • Covers existing and new facilities • Designing the data center architecture as a whole, not in pieces Facilities Management Infrastructure Power Cooling Applications Compute Storage Network ICT Equipment
