12 Sustainability How do you assess your data centre? BREEAM run by the BRE is the most widely used Sustainability assessment tool throughout the UK but is gaining recognition internationally. LEED, which is regulated by the US Green Building Council is more often used in the US and for international projects.

13 BREEAM Data Centres 2008 DC1 Cobalt DC1 was assessed on the basis of BREEAM. The target was Excellent BREEAM Scores Pass 30% Good 45% Very Good 55% Excellent 70% Outstanding 85% Categories Management Health and Well-being Energy Transport Water Materials Waste Land Use and Ecology Pollution Innovation Produced by CUNDALL LLP for Highbridge PLC January 2010

14 BREEAM 2008 Energy Credits PUE is not taken into account in this early version of BREEAM EPC determines the energy credits. SECTION 3: Energy Up to 15 Credits available where the building achieves an improvement in the energy efficiency of the building's fabric and services and therefore achieves lower building operational related CO 2 emissions (C rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 63 1 (C rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 53 2 (B rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 47 3 (B rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 45 4 (B rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 43 5 (B rated building) min req for EXCELLENT : CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 40 6 Ene 1 (B rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 37 7 (B rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 31 8 (B rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 28 9 (A rated building) min req for OUTSTANDING : CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = (A rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = (A rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = (A rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = (A rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = (A rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) = 0 15 Innov 3 (A+ rated building) CO 2 Index (EPC Rating) < 0 Innov 4 (A+ rated building) True zero carbon building

15 What is an EPC Certificate? EPC = Energy Performance Certificate The EPC provides a theoretical measure if energy efficiency Ranging from A+ (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

16 What Rating Can You Expect? A+ Building Carbon Negative building A Building Exemplary low energy building B Building New Naturally Ventilated building or very energy-efficient A/C building C Building Well designed new A/C building D Building Part L 2006 compliant Data Centre 1 E Building Stock average building F/G Building - Poorer performing buildings

21 Comparison of BREEAM Office to Data Centre Comparison with an office BREEAM assessment; it can be seen that the influence on energy is not so great 19% as opposed to 37% Energy Energy

22 Unlocking BREEAM Credits for Energy ENE 1: PUE is now considered and linked with the EPC. Worth 24.2 units out of 110 units in BREEAM Datacenters. Outstanding requires EPC A <25 Energy 37% Ene 1 Reduction of CO2 Emissions Up to fifteen credits are available for demonstrating a reduction in CO2 emissions from operational energy consumption. Credits depending on the building's: a/ predicted Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) AND b/ CO2 index (EPC Rating) taken from the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) PUE 1.90, EPC Total weighted score for energy PUE 1.80, EPC PUE 1.70, EPC PUE 1.65, EPC PUE 1.60, EPC PUE 1.55, EPC PUE 1.50, EPC PUE 1.45, EPC PUE 1.40, EPC EPC A PUE 1.35, EPC PUE 1.30, EPC PUE 1.28, EPC PUE 1.26, EPC PUE 1.24, EPC PUE 1.22, EPC Innovation 1 Innovation 2 PUE 1.20, EPC 25-0 PUE 1.10, EPC
