With data centers being recognized as “Energy Hogs” there
is a lot of attention being paid to decreasing the energy consumption
of these facililties. The EPA is developing documentation
to regulate the power consumption of servers, the USGBC LEED
standards are being applied in designs, and end-users are looking
to enhance their environmental stewardship while saving money on
operational costs such as utilities. Developing sustainable
practices include more, however, than just saving electricity. Hazardous
materials, waste, water consumption, and several other topics

Explore some
of the realistic ideas for achieving the green goal in electrical
and mechanical infrastructure and equipment in this presentation.
