Design concepts and ICT solutions for server rooms/small data centres in buildingsChallenge

• ICT sector in general (including data centers) generating up to 2% of global CO2 emissions, and its carbon footprint is growing significantly

• Demand for data processing growing fast with emergence of edge computing, IoT, and faster communication networks

• Improve energy efficiency of small data centers or server rooms within buildings

• Integration of these systems with building energy systems, renewables, heating and cooling systems, etc.

#H2020Energy

Design concepts and ICT solutions for server rooms/small data centres in buildingsScope

• Optimal energy performance of design concepts for small DC or server rooms (maximum 250kW per pilot)

• At least 3 pilots in 3 different countries and climatic conditions

• Integration with buildings energy systems and renewable energy sources

• Minimising total waste heat production and valorising of waste heat

• Geographical and temporal workload balance

• Elimination of unnecessary power conversions

• Operation of ICT equipment in a wider range of temperatures

#H2020Energy

Design concepts and ICT solutions for server rooms/small data centres in buildingsImpacts

• Demonstration and dissemination of innovative optimal design concepts

• Guidelines and good practices for server rooms and small data centers in buildings

• Evidence of lower environmental impacts, reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions through the life cycle

• Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) lower than the best performing small data centre solutions in a given location

• Market uptake of innovative solutions and technologies

#H2020Energy

EURECA project (649720)

• Empowered public sector procurers and ICT managers to assess the energy efficiency of their data centers (DC’s) and to take informed decisions on future data management (procure new DC’s, outsource data management, or better management existing installations);

• Development of a Data Centre Maturity Model (DCMM) to assess the technical age of datacentres;

• The project involved 338 public sector data centres and achieved primary energy savings of 131.3 GWh/year.

• http://eureca-project.eu/home

• Finished project (01/03/2015 until 28/02/2018);

• Overall budget € 1,534,055.50

• EU-contribution: € 1,534,055.50

• Coordinator: UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON

#H2020Energy

EURECA project (649720)

• Key Findings:

– In Europe, public sector data centres are small and relatively old. • 80% of public sector data centres in Europe are small server rooms with less than 25 racks;

• 40% of servers in public sector data centres are older than 5 years, but those account for 66% of energy consumption, while only producing 7% of the computing capacity;

– PUE is not always a good indicator of energy-efficiency for datacentres;

– There is a need for more reliable data on the data centre sector energy consumption and environmental footprint;

B4E-10-2020: Self-assessment and self-optimisation of buildings and appliances for a better energy performance

Stamatis Sivitos

Project Advisor

EASME – H2020 Energy Unit

Self-assessment and self-optimisation of buildings and appliances for a better energy performanceChallenge

• New technologies allow for better data collection and processing

• Advance the measurement, reporting and assessment of actual energy performance and consumption

• Performance may evolve, i.e. decrease, over the lifetime

• For certain products, a specific challenge comes with the software or firmware updates

=> Self-assessment of the actual energy performance of products to achieve or maintain better energy efficiency at appliance level (and by extension in the building) is important.

#H2020Energy

Type of action: IA (70%)

Opening: 16/7/19 - Deadline: 15/1/20

Self-assessment and self-optimisation of buildings and appliances for a better energy performanceScope

Develop and demonstrate cost-effective technological solutions for the self-assessment and reporting of actual energy performance;

Ensure the energy-optimisation functions at building, system or appliances level based on real time and historical data.

• For products, collect real-time data (as a system or stand-alone; aggregated at building level); if regulated under Ecodesign and Energy Labelling, benchmark energy consumption against respective legal provisions

• For buildings, demonstrate self-assessment, address any underperformance, also over-time

#H2020Energy

Self-assessment and self-optimisation of buildings and appliances for a better energy performance

While…

involving pilots for several types of products and technical building systems (different lifecycles, operating modes, user settings);

investigating how self-assessment solutions could support

• a forward-looking evolution of energy performance assessment practices

• a cost-effective, performance- and data-based assessment of the smart readiness of a building;

considering activities (e.g. training) for installers and service providers;

involving key stakeholders (appliance manufacturers, BEMS technology providers, installers etc.)

#H2020Energy

Self-assessment and self-optimisation of buildings and appliances for a better energy performanceImpacts

• Primary Energy savings (GWh/year)

• Investments in sustainable energy (in million Euro)

• Assessing energy performance and energy consumption with greater accuracy

• Contribution to forward-looking calculation under the EPBD and EU product efficiency legislation
