PUE now in better synch with other data center green measures

The Green Grid has come out this week with a report showing how its measure for tracking energy efficiency in data centers -- the power usage effectiveness (PUE) metric -- has been vetted against other industry measures.

The organization worked with the following OTHER organizations to pull together its latest report, "Recommendations for Measuring and Reporting Overall Data Center Efficiency - Version 1 - Measuring PUE at Dedicated Data Centers:"

• ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers)
• Uptime Institute
• U.S. Department of Energy Save Energy Now program
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star program
• U.S. Green Building Council
• Silicon Valley Leadership Group
• 7x24 Exchange

Pretty much sounds like it has its bases covered!
