Information technology - Data centres key performance indicators - Part 7: Cooling efficiency ratio (CER)

This document specifies the cooling efficiency ratio (CER) as a key performance indicator (KPI) for quantifying the efficient use of energy to control the temperature of spaces within a data centre (DC).

This document:

a)    defines the CER of a DC;

b)    describes the relationship of this KPI to a DC’s infrastructure, information technology equipment and information technology operations;

c)    defines the measurement, the calculation and the reporting of the parameter; and

d)    provides information on the correct interpretation of the CER.

Annex A describes the correlation of the CER and other KPIs.

Annex B provides examples of the usage of the CER.

Annex C introduces the parameters that affect the CER.

Annex D describes requirements and recommendations for derivatives of KPIs associated with the CER.

This document is not applicable to cooling systems that are not powered by electricity (e.g. heat-driven absorption chillers).

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
