Typical situation no. 39
An operator of two sites with 800 kW and 2 MW of IT load is subject to the annual EU data centre reporting (European database) for data centers above 500 kW. It lacks meters, and several indicators (water, reused heat, renewable share) are not tracked.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- The reporting covers many indicators (energy, water, heat, renewables, capacity), with a prescribed method.
- Without adequate metering, some values can only be estimated.
- Reports are published in aggregated form and scrutinised by customers.
WHAT WE DO
- Inventory of available data and gaps.
- Metering plan to put in place.
- Preparation and review of the report.
- Organisation of data collection for the following years.
WHAT YOU GET
- A complete and substantiated report.
- A costed metering plan.
- An annual data collection procedure.
Typical format: Compliance engagement, two to three weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
