Project Green AV Review of InfoComm STEP Rating System Draft 1

Congratulations to InfoComm and all in the industry who worked together to create this first draft of the STEP Rating System.  This is exemplary work and a major stride for Green AV.

The STEP Rating System hits on two of the most important topics in Green AV for the future.  First, STEP wisely focuses on the full cycle of equipment, awarding points for re-use, sourcing reclaimed equipment and putting in place environmentally responsible plans for equipment’s end of life (including recycling).

Unique assessment service launches for data centre energy efficiency by Dimension 85

Philip Vandenberg September 1st, 2009

London - Dimension 85 Ltd launches Assessor, a unique web-based service to help data centre owners manage their strategic energy efficiency initiatives. Assessor enables organisations to conduct benchmarks and assessments on data centre infrastructure and exploits the expertise and best practice recommendations of the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency. Using a proven and repeatable consulting methodology, Assessor delivers a series of management and tactical-level reports aimed at addressing energy efficiency issues and increases staff awareness of the subject.

With data centre energy consumption set to double by 2020, it is a concern for Governments worldwide. As technology changes to address energy issues, the problem requires a long term strategic approach based on the traditional management practices of benchmarking and assessment. Assessor fulfils this requirement enabling Data Centre Managers to eliminate costs and empower their own specialists to create high quality assessments and reports that enhances management decision making processes for data centre infrastructure change.

Assessor is suitable for any organisation, worldwide, that is concerned about its energy consumption and wants to conduct a programme of benchmarking and assessment without employing expensive external consultants or IT vendor’s service organisations.

Philip Vandenberg of Dimension 85 says "Data Centre Managers are being tasked to understand energy issues, reduce energy costs and meet corporate energy commitments while continuing with the day job of adding too and enhancing existing services. This is not easy and this first release of Assessor delivers a high value service for resource- strapped organisations who are looking for real vendor-independent guidance on data centre infrastructure and energy efficiency. "

Dimension 85 Ltd is a best practice company specialising in IT and data centre energy issues and an approved Endorser of the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency.
