ISO/IEC 30134-2 Compliance for Data Centers

What is ISO/IEC 30134-2?

ISO/IEC 30134-2 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for determining the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of a data center. It provides a consistent and globally recognized method for calculating and reporting PUE.

This standard is part of the ISO/IEC 30134 series, which focuses on data center Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Why ISO/IEC 30134-2 Matters

  • Standardization: Ensures consistent PUE calculation across the industry.
  • Benchmarking: Allows for fair comparison between different data centers.
  • Efficiency Improvement: Provides a clear metric for tracking and improving energy efficiency.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Many regions are adopting this standard for energy efficiency regulations.
  • Credibility: Demonstrates commitment to recognized international standards.

PUE Calculation According to ISO/IEC 30134-2

The standard defines PUE as:

PUE = Total Data Center Energy / IT Equipment Energy

Key considerations in the calculation include:

  • Clear definition of data center boundaries
  • Specified measurement points for energy consumption
  • Guidelines for measurement intervals and data collection
  • Categorization of PUE measurement (PUE0, PUE1, PUE2, PUE3)
  • Reporting requirements and data presentation
