[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The Singapore government launched multiple energy initiatives that will guide government agencies in formulating their technology master plans and funding initiatives to secure Singapore’s energy future and address climate change challenges.
i3 Solutions Group were appointed as the consultants for The Green Data Centre Technology Roadmap. This unique assignment provides a framework for carbon abatement in data centres spanning each IT and MEP discipline.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][vc_separator color=”grey” el_width=”100″ el_align=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”The Challenge” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”h2-demi”][vc_single_image image=”2188″ border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”750×300″][vc_column_text]The Green Data Centre Technology Roadmap provides a framework to assuage carbon emissions associated with existing and future data centres in Singapore.

- The application environment including application services, operating systems and applications
- Hardware energy overheads such as fan energy, DC-DC converter losses
- Energy conversion losses caused by power and cooling systems

The Roadmap also provided a top to bottom review of data centre energy use, analyses and recommendations for the implementation of each technology based upon KPIs such as NPV and CO2 abatement.
Each recommendation is quantified with indicative incremental adoption costs, deployment curves, abatement potential and marginal abatement cost.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Some key findings from of the Roadmap included:” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:21px|text_align:left|color:%231faded|line_height:24px” google_fonts=”font_family:Abril%20Fatface%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”h2-demi” css=”.vc_custom_1427708702759{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
- Significant energy inefficiencies resulting from software
- The amplification of software energy losses caused by the cascade effect arising from compound upstream energy losses by the physical IT infrastructure, power and cooling systems.
- Coherent integration of energy flows across the IT stack will significantly reduce energy consumption
