HP has been appointed by the National Environment Agency (NEA) to benchmark the energy consumption of Singapore’s data centers.
The benchmarking is part of the Singapore Green Data Center Standard project. The benchmarking study will give insights to the energy performance of data centers in Singapore and establish a baseline to assess the energy and environmental performance of data centers here.
Aside from buildings and transportation, data centers are also recognized as heavy users of energy, according to NEA.
With growing demand for information and communications technology, data centers are becoming a significant source of energy consumption for corporations in Singapore, presenting a golden opportunity for energy cost reductions.
The benchmarking study is commissioned by the NEA and supported by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore.
