Solutions for Data Center Buildings

In its 2007 Report to Congress on Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency Opportunities, the EPA estimated that the nation’s servers and data centers consumed about 61 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2006 (1.5 percent of total U.S. electricity consumption) for a total electricity cost of about $4.5 billion. Why is this such a concern? Because as one of the fastest growing markets, the energy consumption by data centers could double by 2011. This would bring the facts to 100 billion kWh used and $7.4 billion spent annual in energy.

There is significant potential for energy efficiency improvements in data centers, however, and Blue Dot Services have become experts in finding and integrating these improvements. You should first make sure your data center's information is benchmarked for energy performance to see where it compares to the national average and other buildings. Based on these figures, we will show you how simple it is to make no and low-cost operational and mechanical improvements that will have a tremendous impact.

$7.4 billion is what data centers are estimated to spend annually on energy costs in 2011 if they do not become more energy efficient.
