by Shane Henson — July 25, 2011—The Green Grid Association, the information technology (IT) industry’s leading voice for advancing resource efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems, has published a white paper reporting cases of energy efficiency initiatives of data centers in Japan.
The white paper, Case Studies of Energy Efficiency Initiatives in Japanese Data Centers, available from The Green Grid’s Japanese Web site, is planned for translation into English and was written to help advance energy-use reduction efforts by increasing efficiency and by introducing cases of practical improvement activities.
Members of the Japan Technical Work Group of The Green Grid illustrate the background of the activities, challenges/solutions and results of improvement activities of eight companies in total, including the three winners of the Improved Data Center Energy Efficiency Award in 2010, plus five Green Grid member companies.
The Green Grid has published 39 white papers globally; however, this white paper is the first one from the Japan Technical Work Group. The goal is to broadly introduce the remarkable improvements of Japanese businesses to members in and outside of Japan and to support the energy saving activities of data centers worldwide.
