Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) Sustainability Metrics: A Webcast for Members of The Green Grid

20 July, 2011 | Presentation

Dan Azevedo, Symantec


This webcast provides an exclusive, detailed review of the associations’s Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) sustainability metrics.

The Green Grid has developed the CUE and WUE metrics to complement the series of metrics it has introduced in the past few years, which includes Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), Data Center Energy Productivity (DCeP), Energy Reuse Effectiveness (ERE), Data Center Compute Efficiency (DCcE), and others. The CUE and WUE metrics enable data center operators to quickly assess the water and carbon sustainability aspects of their data centers, compare the results, and determine if any energy efficiency and/or sustainability improvements need to be made.
