Search DataCenter, January 25th, 2023
Data centers use a lot of energy, and it can be difficult to navigate how to reduce energy use. ISO 50001:2018 provides guidance to create energy-saving plans and use targets.
The ISO 50001:2018 standard outlines a framework for a systematic approach to improving energy performance within an organization. Data centers often use the standard as they look to address their environmental impact, conserve resources and improve their bottom line.
The standard provides guidance for organizations to develop an energy management system (EnMS) to improve energy use. It also helps promote a culture of continual improvement of energy efficiency into their everyday practices. Organizations that follow this standard can make strides to achieve energy and cost savings through informed decision-making to implement energy-saving practices across sites, processes, equipment and operations.
