On June 8, 2023, Singapore has launched one of the world’s first standard for optimising energy efficiency for data centres (DCs) in tropical climate countries. Announced by Singapore’s Senior Minister of State, Communications and Information, Dr Janil Puthucheary at ATxEnterprise, the standard comes after a working group comprising domain and technical experts from both industry and academia, as well as government agencies worked on establishing a set of guidelines to enable the operation of DCs at higher temperature settings while optimising energy efficiency.
IMDA said cooling systems can account for up to 40 per cent of a data centre’s total energy consumption, with many operators choosing to operate their equipment at temperatures of 22 deg C and below.
The cooling of data centres in a warmer tropical climate environment presents additional challenges as more energy is used to operate the cooling systems, IMDA said. It added that it has worked with several data centre operators here to test the new standard.
