SINGAPORE — Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) on Thursday (June 8) introduced a sustainability standard for data centres operating in tropical climates.
It comes after a working group established guidelines to enable the operation of data centres at higher temperatures while optimising their energy efficiency.
The cooling of data centres in warmer environments presents additional challenges as more energy is used to operate the cooling systems, it added. This translated to a reduction of approximately 2 per cent to 3 per cent of total energy usage in these data halls over the trial period to date, said IMDA.
