About
This will be an ideal opportunity for people working with data centres in the higher education sector to get a good overview of the code of conduct and hear how their peers are implementing it in practice. There will also be an opportunity hear about some technical innovations in metering and measuring for data centres.
What is the Code of Conduct?
The Code of Conduct was launched by Defra and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) in 2008 in recognition that data centres are heavy and often inefficient consumers of energy – and that this problem is only set to increase. Escalating costs of energy have focused the attention of senior management across all sectors on energy efficiencies and are driving renewed interest in understanding how measures in the EU Code of Conduct could help cut costs and carbon emissions.
What will the briefings cover?
-
What the Code of Conduct is
-
The benefits of following the Code of Conduct and how to participate
-
How to drive incremental savings through measuring and monitoring IT and Facilities energy efficiencies

Experiences from current participants in the Code of Conduct.
