Data Center Resource Effectiveness (DCRE) Metric and Scoring Calculator

The Green Grid is proud to announce:

The DCRE Metric is now available for download by all registered visitors to this site.  You may also download the DCRE Scoring Calculator.

These offerings provide a holistic metric based on the effectiveness and interrelationship of resources consumed by data centers. It incorporates multiple factors: energy efficiency, water usage, water stress and climate zones. It also introduces Water Usage Impact (WUI), a proxy of water usage and water stress where the data center is located. 

Join TGG for a webinar introducing the DCRE Metric: https://itic.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y92nk-7lS8OWdhASQrtn9A. We look forward to seeing you there!
