The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is sharing results of a study about energy efficiency techniques for data centers. A few recommendations include:
* Reducing voltage transformations in power distribution systems.
* Retrofitting ordinary power supplies with efficient 80 PLUS power supplies.
* Managing airflow in server aisles.
* Using state-of-the-art software to enable servers and air conditioners to work together to reduce energy consumed by servers and cooling systems, and operating servers in higher temperatures.
