Current and Short-Term Projected State of EU CoC</h1> <article> <h1>Current and Short-Term Projected State of EU CoC</h1> <p>Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:58:00 GMT</p> <p>This session will explore the European Commission's Code of Conduct on Data Centers, which is comprised of a series of voluntary, light-touch measures. This session will examine how these measures can help operators improve the energy efficiency of their data centers. In addition, these measures could contribute to forming the basis of more stringent legislation in the future. However, other challenges related to local legal frameworks and energy policies will have to be addressed first.</p> </article> <article> <h1>ASHRAE and The Green Grid Looking Forward</h1> <p>Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:58:00 GMT</p> <p>The industry has seen a considerable, disruptive change in recent years, essentially seeking to “leap-frog” itself in how it delivers value in every sector it serves. Looking forward, what should ASHRAE and The Green Grid’s collaborative relationship look like as these two organizations support the desired “leap-frog affect” the industry is driving?</p> </article> <article> <h1>Data Center Power System Harmonics: An Overview of the Effects on Data Center Efficiency and Reliability</h1> <p>Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:58:00 GMT</p> <p>Data center managers are often requesting lower harmonics numbers, but they do not always understand what the appropriate numbers are and why. Zero harmonics does not necessarily mean a better data center operating environment. This session will help attendees understand how to balance harmonics and efficiency, while providing a general overview of harmonics, including what they are and what they do.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Current and Short-Term Projected State of ENERGY STAR®</h1> <p>Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:58:00 GMT</p> <p>This session will present an update on the current status and accomplishments of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program. In addition, this session will look ENERGY STAR’s plans for the next several years, focusing on the IT and data center area. Furthermore, this session will include a discussion on IT product specification work, international outreach, data center labeling, and other program activities currently underway or planned to begin soon.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Built to Last: A Review of NRI’s New “Double Deck Data Center”</h1> <p>Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:58:00 GMT</p> <p> <p style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In October 2012, Nomura Research Institute opened its newest data center in Tokyo, Japan. This session will examine the data center’s innovative “double deck floor” design, which will help reduce overall air handling and facility electricity needs. As a result, it is anticipated that neither additional building side modifications nor further capital spending will be needed for 30 to 40 years or maybe even longer. </p> </p> </article> </main></body></html>
