US Data Center Energy Usage Reports
(2007 & 2016)
~1.8% U.S. Electricity
45% Reduction Possible with Best
Practices and greater shift to hyper-scale

Drivers: Executive Order 13693 and
the Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI)
Specific federal goals for data centers:
• Promote energy optimization, efficiency, and performance
• Install/monitor advanced energy meters in all data centers by FY2018
- Active tracking of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
• Establish PUE targets: 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 =

- between 1.2 and 1.4 for new data centers
- less than 1.5 for existing data centers
• Option: close the data center (consolidate, move to the cloud)
Power Usage
Effectiveness (PUE) is
a measure of how
efficiently a data
center’snfrastructure
uses energy.
