Could Fujitsu Pave the Way for Data Center Energy Ratings?

Guest Blog Post by Madoline Hatter

In November of 2013, Fujitsu claimed the first National Australian Built Environment Rating System award of four stars for its data center facility, the Noble Park Data Centre. The facility demonstrates how high demands of energy can be met with little impact on the environment. The four star rating indicates it is 20-percent more efficient over similar structures that rate at a three-star level.

The year of the rating policy?

It’s likely that 2011 will see a seismic shift in the landscape of environmental policy. Even in the efficiency world, where using and spending less appeals to both sides of the aisle, there are modulations ahead. With fresh fiscal attitudes adding to a down-trodden economy, the country is looking for innovative and cheap ways to reduce spending and induce growth.
