What Is the SDEA Navigator?
The SDEA Navigator is a one-of-a-kind online tool designed to precisely measure the operational efficiency and sustainability of datacenters (DC) and IT infrastructures.
As DCs face increasing demands on energy consumption and sustainability, the SDEA Navigator provides a comprehensive platform to measure both energy efficiency and the carbon footprint, delivering actionable insights.
The Navigator brings together and improves upon widely recognized industry standards, such as EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 30134, helping DCs to not just meet but exceed industry standards for efficiency and sustainability.
What Does the SDEA Navigator Include?
The SDEA Navigator provides a comprehensive, full-stack assessment of your DC’s efficiency and environmental impact through three specialized calculators.
These calculators can be used individually or combined as an integrated index, offering flexibility to focus on specific areas or gain a complete overview of your efficiency.
-
DC Infrastructure Efficiency: An enhanced PUE calculator that includes options for heat recovery or on-premise renewables.
-
IT Infrastructure Efficiency: Measures the utilization of servers, storage, and network – but also considers factors like technology excellence and operating temperature classification.
-
Carbon Footprint: An enhanced CUE calculator that includes life-cycle emissions of ingress energy.
Together, these calculators provide a comprehensive overview of your DC’s sustainability, enabling you to enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and ensure compliance with industry standards.
How Do I Use the SDEA Navigator?
To get started with the SDEA Navigator, simply create an account on navigator.sdea.ch and open a dashboard. Enter your KPIs for your DC, IT infrastructure, or both, and the Navigator will automatically calculate your efficiency indices and your carbon footprint.
If your results meet your efficiency goals, you can easily transition from measurement to certification with the SDEA Label, demonstrating your commitment to sustainability and regulatory compliance.
