Consortium for Energy Efficiency Data Centers and Servers Initiative

The CEE Data Centers and Servers Initiative serves to identify activities that will help program administrators better understand the complexity related to the design and maintenance of these types of loads. Not only are the performance expectations and technological advances of this type of equipment fast-paced, the industry itself is somewhat complicated with a diverse range of stakeholders. In spite of these efforts, there is an opportunity for program administrators to come together nationally to better serve this highly energy intensive load type through activities that promote common understanding, clarification, consensus-building and validation. The following Initiative description provides details on the proposed activities to be undertaken by the Committee.
